Why Citalopram Is Bad?

Taking citalopram and an MAOI too close together in time could lead to a life threatening condition called serotonin syndrome, which can cause high fever, uncontrolled muscle spasms, stiff muscles, sudden changes in heart rate or blood pressure, confusion, or loss of consciousness (passing out).

How safe is citalopram?

For most people, citalopram is safe to take for a long time. A few people may get sexual side effects, such as problems getting an erection or a lower sex drive. In some cases these can continue even after stopping the medicine. Speak to your doctor if you are worried.
