shyvera Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) A friend of mine suffering from depression is currently on Citalopram treatment. He is a bit uneasy about the drug and is particularly worried that it might make him suicidal. I have looked the drug on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citalopram) according to which my friend should be safe as the drug only induces suicidal tendencies in patients under 24 (while my friend is over 50). Does anyone have anything about Citalopram to add to the Wikipedia article? My friend would be happy to know more about the drug.

matty Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I would be very reluctant, personally, to trust any new drug, I mean new to you. http://m.topix.com/forum/drug/celexa. --a cita forum of users, also goes gy celexa http://www.medpagetoday.com/Psychiatry/GeneralPsychiatry/29179 Always watch whatever names the drug goes by, search for info by way of typing in 'citalopram news' and scour down the links carefully. Forums are extremely suggestive. So is the FDA actually takung action on something, I see several times it's taken issue with cita lately and banned high doses, cardiac issues. Do your homework, look at sources going by .org, etc, not just .com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
