Re: different makes of Citalopram??
Hi Caz
I take Cipramil/Elopram which is a brand name and has the main ingredient Citalopram.
I found that with the normal pack of Citalopram, it would cause me to have diarrhea and I learned that it was due to the fillers they use in the making of the tablet, but I don't have that problem with Cipramil and have to make sure the pharmacist gives me the right box when I go!.. I remember arguing with the pharmacist when they said they had no Cipramil but could give me Citalopram.. as it was the same drug. I told them that, yes, its the same main ingredient but that I did not get on with the fillers and that they really should not be offering me any alternative to what my Doc had precribed!..pfft..
anyhoo. I would suggest you go back to your Doc and ask for a prescription for the brand you are ok with and let them know why. And this will ensure the right pack is prescibed for you.
