There is not a medication that treats alcohol dependence, psychiatric conditions and heart problems at once.

Prozac is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. Fluoxetine affects certain chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) that communicate between brain cells and helps people with depression, panic, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
Prozac is used to treat major depressive disorder, bulimia nervosa (an eating disorder), obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

You need to see a Cardiologist, but you knew that and also a Psychiatrist to help you with your mental conditions and your addiction issues.
There is not 1 magical pill, that we all wish existed to treat and cure our conditions.

Venlafaxine demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of depressive alcoholic patients. Furthermore, it seems to be useful to decrease the severity of problems related with the alcohol use.
