Can I Break A Citalopram Hbr 20 Mg Tablet In Half?

REPLY

REPORT

I have been on Cit for about 6 years 10mg. the great news is it made me feel great took away all that angst and low mood. BUT I have gained about 2 stone and its made my IBS terrible. its wierd because i always saw Cit as a cure and would look for other reasons why i was getting bigger, having bad stomach. it was only when I started a serious diet and had lost nothing after 4 weeks (while my daughter on same diet lost ten pounds) that i started to research reasons. Theres no question its this horrible little drug and i am furious that my doctor never thought to see if Cit was a cause. over many many forums the same theme is coming thru, doctors fobbing off patients that Cit doesnt cause weight gain and there should be no withdrawal symptoms. there are thousands of patients out there contradicting this and doctors should get more educated if they are going to dish this nasty drug out. starting my slow withdrawal, so far ok but im sure i will crash soon. will update xxxx

Amy, you can safely cut or divide any tablet that isn't time released and doesn't otherwise specify that it's not safe to do so.

sazzyfrank, I am very sorry about what you're going through. The sad fact is that many doctors are not actually completely educated on all the possible side effects of any drug, they usually know far, far less than pharmacists.

How are you doing, now?

Are there any other questions or comments?
