hi there, i was on citalopram and buspa for years worked welll for me, but i changed due to pregnacy .

can i say never look ya meds up on line,, it dont help you read all the side affects and can get ya self in a mess.

i have always though buspa was just something to take edge of aniexty, not anit-depresent. you should give them a chance to work togeather , and they cant make you feel any worse.

good luck

Hello happy happy ron, I am replying to your question of taking citalopram and buspirone together.. I was wondering if you decided to take them both together and if so, how are you doing and did they help you? I went to the Dr. Although she is as nurse practitioner gave me citalopram 20 mg. to take with the Buspar 15 mg. She advised me to break the Celex in half and try it for one week and see if that works, then start with the 20 mg for the second week.. I was wondering if the two combined would make a difference? Thank you and God bless you!
