Thread: Citalopram and alcohol

    Citalopram and alcohol

    Can you mix the two? It doesn't mention anything about it on the little leaflet that comes with the medication but I'm sure I saw something on the NHS website saying it's not a good idea to mix them.
    I've only just started taking Cit so I've no intention of drinking whilst I'm suffering from the side-effects but is it ok once the SEs have worn off?

    You can drink with them but be careful you don't overdo it!

    I'd agree, but add that you may need less alcohol to achieve what you would without Citalopram. It may be a sensible idea to have a drink or two at home just to see how you react, and then have a buddy who can keep an eye out for you when you're out on the town.
