Brief Answer:
It depends on your symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

cipralex is an effective and well-tolerated drug which targets depression and generalized anxiety disorder. It may indeed cause arrhythmias but be assured that this is one of the safest drugs for these indications.
Escitalopram (Cipralex) does not have significant interactions with Sotalol, so there is only a little (theoretical) chance for cardiovascular side-effects.

I hope you find my answer helpful!

Kind Regards!
