Celexa (Citalopram) Precautions:Before you buy Celexa (Citalopram) from any drug store pharmacy or intend to use this generic drug to overcome depression, tell your physician if you are allergic to it or any other substance. Also tell the doctor about your medical history, especially heart ailments, blood pressure, liver and kidney diseases, any mental or mood problems and thyroid problems. Using this generic drug may make the patients feel dizzy and, hence, they should avoid driving or using machines. Also avoid taking alcoholic drinks while you are taking Celexa (Citalopram). This generic drug should not be used in children or teenagers owing to lack of proven effectiveness in treating depression in children. This generic drug should be used only when absolutely necessary during pregnancy. If this prescription drug is used during the last three months of pregnancy, the newborn may at times develop symptoms like feeding or breathing difficulties, seizures, jitteriness or constant crying.

Celexa (Citalopram) Interactions:Like other SSRIs, Celexa (Citalopram) also interacts with certain prescription drugs and, hence, this generic drug should not be used in combination with any of the mono-amine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor-class of anti-depressants. Using this generic drug with other medicines like Eldepryl, Matulane Marplan, Nardil and Parnate may result in high blood pressure, hyperactivity and tremor. Taking Tryptophan, a common dietary supplement, with this prescription drug may cause headaches, nausea, sweating, and dizziness. Before using Celexa (Citalopram), tell your doctor of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may be using, especially other anti-depressants, drugs that can cause bleeding/bruising and lithium. Aspirin is similar to NSAID drugs, and can increase the risk of bleeding in combination with this generic drug.
