Post Mellaril (thioridazine)

Does have a black box warning.... regarding QT syndrome--which is a heart effect. I have a long thread on Chronic Pain here in Useful websites that explains QT.

Mellaril cannot be used with Zoloft for this reason. Both prolong QT and can stop the heart in some people.

In that thread there are links to 4 lists of drugs that affect QT in some people, and how it may be triggered. Many antipsychotics do to some extent.
