Also i read that celexa is used for mainly depression and not anxiety... Should i request a different med?
Interacting with 200 would surely be enough of a scare if you were worried about meds? But then it won't matter anyway since you won't be taking anything else that interacts with it.

QT prolongation can easily be seen as a potential side effect at a quick glance of...

Sertraline
Fluoxetine (Prozac)
Venlafaxine

All meds used in abundance for mental health and many of us on here are on them or have been.

Many of us have had that elevated risk but it doesn't matter anyway since it's only a concern for people with that specific underlying problem.

These meds are used to treat various things but their roots lie in depression. Citalopram is one of the go-to drugs for anxiety.
