Can I take 2 10mg celexa at the same time?? Would it be the same as taking a 20mg??? ## Yes, it would be equivalent to taking a 20mg, as long as they are both the regular release formulation tablets. My doctor even suggests I do it, if we're upping the dose of something, to use up the pills I've already purchased, before spending money on more. Learn more Celexa details here. There should be no problem, unless your doctor has specifically said not to do so. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can Cilift and Trepiline be taken together? I take 1 Cilift every night, and the doctor has just given me Tripline for my shingles, to take 1 at night. ## Clifit contains Citalopram and Tripiline contains Amitriptyline and they can be used together, but the dosages should be taken under careful consideration, plus your doctor should be monitoring you regularly while you are taking both. Combining them creates risks of serotonin syndrome and hyponatremia. Learn more Cilift details here. Learn more Tripiline details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

I've been on citalopram for over 2 years now. I can see I've put on weight (I was always very thin), low sex drive...however, I am now more confident and being able to deal with the pressures of my job (Media). I find myself being more assertive,confident and making decissions I could have ever dreamed of doing before. Now, my dychotomy is this: carry on taking the drug pretending to enjoy sex whilst being bloated or being a new, confident self and able to deal with anything life throws at me...help? ## In all honestly, you're the only one that can decide this. Which is most important to you? Learn more Citalopram details here. Alternatively....have you talked to your doctor about the issues? There are other antidepressants available that may still provide you with the same ...

Is Aurob's Citalopram for Celexa gluten-free? ## Hi danny, The inactive ingredients (that are present in each 'Aurobindo' Citalopram tablet), include the following: COPOVIDONE STARCH, CORN CROSCARMELLOSE SODIUM LACTOSE MONOHYDRATE MAGNESIUM STEARATE HYPROMELLOSE 2910 (6 MPA.S) CELLULOSE, MICROCRYSTALLINE POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL 400 TITANIUM DIOXIDE FERRIC OXIDE RED FERRIC OXIDE YELLOW NOTE: Cornstarch is gluten free, and it looks like there aren't any other ingredients listed that could questionably contain gluten.

I have forgot to collect my prescription from doctor and its now closed ll weekend and have just been on lower dose for 4 weeks, how will this effected me or how can i get some to tide me over. ## Hi Donna, Depending on how long you've been taking this medication and how much of it you've been taking, there is a risk for withdrawal symptoms. If you forget to take a dose, it's generally recommended that you take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. (Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one). As far as withdrawal symptoms go, the precautionary guidelines for this medication state the following: "If you suddenly stop taking citalopram, you may...

I have been prescribed this tablet by my dr to treat symptoms of PMS but only take it for day's 15 to 28 of my cycle, has anyone used it for this purpose and felt better? Thanks ## Citalopram is an SSRI antidepressant and the main problem with taking it this way is that it really needs to be taken regularly, all the time, in order for it to have a beneficial effect. These types of medications can't be taken occasionally, or just as needed. Thus, if you're only taking it for 14 days, then you really aren't even giving the medication a chance to help you. Learn more Citalopram details here. Has your doctor instructed you to use it this way?

How do I go off of Cilift, I have been on it for 2 years and have put on 20kgs. I put on about a kg a month since I started taking the meds. I am a healthy, active person who enjoys my food, but do not feel satisfied after a meal anymore, I want more and more. I have had a hesterectomy a year ago, and had a hormone test which is normal. I am not on any other medication. Please advise. ## Have you consulted your doctor about it? Cilift contains the active ingredient Citalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant, this class of medications is well known to cause weight gain. However, when it comes to stopping it, you usually have to taper off of it, slowly, because suddenly stopping it may cause some severe withdrawal and rebound effects. Your doctor should be able to help you taper down you...

Have been told by my GP I have to come off citalopram because manufacturer has withdrawn this drug. Would appreciate if anybody knows about this. ## NOT true. I just talked to my pharmacist yesterday about some issues I have with the generic. She said nothing about it. the brand name is still available also. ## I have done a lot of research and came with the same answer as yourselrf. Can't understand why they would say this. ## Is there possibly some type of shortage, or something going on in your country? I know there isn't one here, but I am in the U.S., so I don't know what's relevant elsewhere.

I have decided to stop using citalopram because i'm afraid of side effects. I started with 5 drops at evening , 6 drops the second day and 7 at the third time that was yesterday..I would like to know how degrading the dosage in order to avoid bad effects. Thanks, ALF. ## Usually for drugs like this the safest way to stop taking them is to tapper off them, if possible. Some medications can be taken in fractions (actually cut into pieces) and these smaller pieces can be taken in place of the regular dose for a period of several weeks until the body is no longer dependent upon them. Is your medication in liquid form? If so, I think you are doing well in simply counting how many drops you use, even it takes a little longer to taper off of in this manner. I am not a doctor though, so the...

I have been taking Citalopram for 2 weeks and have been suffering painful headaches and aching joints. I also have had an ulcer on my tongue for the past 3 days. Just feeling worse for taking them. Has anybody else had similar effects and do they get better? ## Headaches can be a side effect, most of which will wear off after about a month, as your body gets used to the medication. Mouth ulcers and aching joints are not normal reactions to SSRI antidepressants. Please call your doctor to rule out a severe adverse reaction or some other illness. ## i was on lexapro but my insurance wouldn't pay for it any more. They called my doctor and he approved Citalopram HBR 20mg. How does this compare to the Lexapro i'm afraid of it. Please send reply. ## far as mouth ulcers, on tongue an i...
