i have been off citalopram for a week now am i safe to drink tonight?x
Hi Jess
It does say not to drink with this medication, but then again many meds say that. It's still early for days for you too. I will say though, that I still drink wine or something when I'm socialising, but I have taken the meds for 15 years. I'd say if you do decide to, then be very careful and watch yourself. Don't overdo it, and maybe see how you having a small amount.

Go on enjoy yourself, I drink now and then with them,and it hasn't bother me, so good luck without them.
It's safe to drink in moderation whilst taking cit., so it should definitely be okay to drink now you've stopped taking it. Keep alcohol consumption to a safe level to begin with though, don't overdo it as it's likely it will have a much more intense effect for a little while. I drank a couple of glasses of wine several times a week all the time I was taking cit and it had no ill effect. Small amounts of alcohol are actually good for you! Just don't go on a binge.
