    Citalopram and herbal products

    Does anyone know whether it is a good idea to take some herbal products for anxiety, such as passionflower, during the first few weeks of starting citalopram to get over the potential worsening of symptoms during that period. Or would that interact with citalopram and might cause any problems?

    Thanks

    Im not sure about Passionflower but I know that Citalopram can increase the drowsy effect of Valerian (Kalms etc)! x

    Thanks for the replies miksslovely and kaidensmum. I will try to avoid passionlower while taking citalopram, and maybe try some breathing exercise instead to help deal with side effects if I experience any.
