Im so scared as ive read about a major interaction occuring between citalopram and ppi tablets. Im on esomeprozole and citalopram and have been for about a year. When i found out about the interaction and the affects it can have in the heart when taken together, I stopped the esomeprozole.... BUT my acid reflux has come back really bad and i have to take it again. I take 20mgs esomeprozole and 10mgs citalopram at the moment but am scared to death. My GP hadnt even heard of the interaction and said he prescribes higher doses all the time and as long as you dont go over a certain amount its ok... another dr i asked also had no idea. The FDA announced this a couple of years ago :(
I NEED both meds. I dont know what to do. It says if you get a fast heart rate, palpitations and dizziness to get to a dr asap - well I get all that on and off it?!!
Anyone else take a PPI and SSRI med? I need some reassurance or something right now...
