Cilift Side Effects:period
(Newest replies first)

I've used Cilift for 3 months, and systematically stopped using it as advised. My question as follows. Can the discontinuing use of Cilift cause any change in your menstruation cycle?

REPORT

Thank you for your prompt response. I was advised by my doctor to either use it for 3 or 6 months. Starting by taking half a tablet for a week and the following weeks one tablet a day. To stop the usage I was told to do the same. Half a tablet for the last week. I had gone through a short stressful time because we moved to Africa and was told to not continue use if not necessary. Please advise on this matter as I am not too sure now whether I discontinued usage in the correct manner.

Hi, Johcha!

In theory it shouldn't, since it just contains Citalopram, which is an SSRI class antidepressant, but in reality anything that stresses us and/or upsets our body's balance can upset our hormonal balance.

I am not sure why you were advised to systematically stop using it, because if you've only been on it for 3 months, then you're really not even giving it any time to work and help you. It takes 4 to 6 weeks for it to reach its full level of efficacy in the body. Thus, if you're stopping it regularly, it's never getting there and you're basically starting over to build it up to that point each time you stop it and start again.

Who told you to take breaks from it like this?

Breaks can sometimes be a good idea, but that's usually after someone has used a medication for a long period of time, as in taking it for years, not just a short period of time.
