Being weaned off Doselupin (Prothiaden) as been found a link between medication and risk of heart disease. Anyone had a similar experience.

I have never heard of that one. But I was weamed off Citalopram and they intoduced "a newer version" of the drug called Escitalopram and if ever they have changed the dosage they said to have an ECG which I did and I got the all clear. But that was in 2011 and I had another one about 3 years ago and that was fine too. I am aware that they say that to people who take either Clomipramine or Citalopram. I don't think they do that with most SSRI anti-depressants.
