Hello,

It is better to seek your doctors advice and not take two kind of medications without that sound advice as some meds can not be taking in conjunction with each other! it can be very risky if it is two of the wrong kinds. However it might be ok also so it is best to ask, perhaps call your doctor and ask for over the phone advice. They usually give a call back when they are less busy.

Pls don't take it until you have done this.

Good luck and feel stronger and calmer soon xx

It would seem you have answered your own question. Citalopram is an anti-depressant and will take at least three weeks before it starts to work. It is perfectly safe to take.
