hi jo

i am currently taking citalopram 20mg. i have only been taking them for 9 days but i started taking well woman vitamins at the same time. it is fine to take vitamins with medication. i think its herbal things like st johns wort that shouldnt be taken.

my doctor advised me to take evening primrose and vit b 12 for pmt.

if you look on the website there is lots of information on supplements and what they can help with.

Hi Jo

I very much doubt there will be any problems taking your vitamins alongside your meds hon. I also take a vitamin B complex supplement - supposed to be very good for anxiety related conditions.
