Question Increased pvcs after starting or stopping an antidepressant?

Has anyone started having more PVCs after starting or stopping an antidepressant like Zoloft or Celexa? Has your doctor addressed the issue and gotten to the bottom of it? Hoping for some answers here because I am getting almost nowhere. My own research is only getting me so far.

I hope someone can help you with this. I refused to take Lexapro because side effects were afib and I already have a skittish heart. I opted for xanax because my issues are anxiety over my heart more so than depression.
I do remember reading that starting pills like celexa or any type of antidepressant can actually make your symptoms worse for a while so maybe that is what you are feeling.

In my opinion these drugs are just poison. There is no proof that they work, only hypothesis, and plenty of proof that the side effects are horrendous.
