yes wen taking citalopram you can bleed and also have longer heavier periods well thats what it says in the leaflet u can get alot of symtoms taking these tablets most of them when you first start taking the medication but these should pass with time,whatever you do dont just stop taking your meds consult your doctor first x hope this helps x

I have been on Citolopram for 3 weeks now 10 mg for 2 weeks, rising to 20mg from this weekend and my period arrived today. I have had the most terrible pms and anxiety symptoms. I am really upset as I starting to feel a bit better in myself until today. Now I feel really hysterical and shaky as well as having a really bad headache, dizzyyness etc. To make it worse you cannot take Ibuprofen with these can you and paracetomol usually does not work with me. To add misery onto this I really cannot take any days off sick from work as they are getting funny about the time I took off last year. Great

Think its ok to take Ibuprofen with citalopram but you could ring a chemist and ask them
