Hey guys. Is there any way the citalopram could cause my period to be late? I've always had my period like clockwork, but started citalopram 2 weeks ago. Have had panic attacks too. Haven't had a "drive" in a while, and took 2 tests both negative. but wondering if anyone has had really late periods with being on something like citalopram? It's weird for me to be late. Lol. Maybe it's a side effect? Or maybe it's just from the stress. I have all the normal period symptoms that I always have, just not the actual period itself. I'm only 6 days late. But strange for me.

If you are suffering anxiety problems I suppose that may cause problems.
Citalopram needs a extended period of five weeks to work

Dear Ashley,
Menstrual irregularities are listed in the side-effects, so the answer is yes, that could be why you're late, especially if you've had two negative pregnancy tests and are feeling pre-menstrual.
love Tess xx
Hey Bob! I'm thinking that's what it is because it's not normal for my body to be off like this. I'm feeling it....just not there yet. lol
Hey Tess!! Thank you for your reply! I was thinking that's why I'm so late. Between that and the stress and my body being "off". I'm feeling it coming on, having every sign that i'm going to start, just not the actual period itself which is strange for me. I'm not going to dwell on it. It'll come when it's ready. Just making sure that was a side effect and wanted to see if anyone else had had this happen before
I missed ten in a row when I was on something similar. Once the meds stopped, the periods returned!
Oh wow!! Okay!! Well that's good to know! Because I'm not exactly panicking, just curious. Thank you for the info Tess I really appreciate it!
Hello Ashley
Good Luck
BOB
Update: Started as of 2 hours ago! Yay! I feel much better!
Three cheers for periods - not.
lol
CONGRATULATIONS
Hahahahaha right?? Even though I hate them when I have them, it atleast lets me know my body is operating right!!
LOL! Thank you!!! Stressing definitely makes it delay. Never thought i'd be this excited to start.
Glad you are glad
Always around Lol
