I asked my doctor right away when she prescribed me Citalopram if it affects birth control. She said no and that she felt comfortable with me taking them both. When I got home I found an interaction finder. It said there were no known interactions between Citalopram and my brand of birth control.
Has anyone heard that Citalopram decreases the effectiveness of birth control? I'm going to call planned parenthood tomorrow and ask a nurse there. Probably should have done that right away too.
Hola. Creo que estás haciendo lo correcto al hablar con una enfermera. ¿Tu médico te explicó que el Citalopram es una droga adictiva y que en algún momento tendrás que dejar de tomarlo gradualmente? ¿Estás sufriendo depresión, ansiedad o ambas?
It's for anxiety. I'm hoping to come off of it eventually. I just needed a little help with life right now.
¿Te ofreció tu médico algo más? Algo un poco menos fuerte como el Litio. Avísame qué dice la enfermera. Sea cual sea el resultado, definitivamente hablaría con tu médico sobre cambiar a algo más suave que el Citalopram.
As far as I'm aware birth control is not affected at all xxx Citalopram is changing my life for the better, good luck xxx
