Can I take Imodium and citalopram??!

[cynthiasun]

Been up all night, puking and diarrhoea. I know you're not meant to take immodium if stomach bug but I am exhausted and need to sleep before my youngest is up shortly!!

I don't see why you shouldn't take them together. I've never heard of SSRIs being contraindicated with loperamide.

you could have googled this?

bnf.nice.org.uk/interactions/citalopram/

Yes I take them together

I did google @dicker only I was in between vomiting and shitting myself at the same time! So my message was brief.

It said online there can be heart effects so I guess what I meant to say has anyone personally taken the two drugs together and been ok? Sorry I didn't give you the whole background to my thought process at 3am with d&v!

Thank you to the other kind posters x

Did you get some sleep in the end? Hope you're feeling a bit better this morning.

I take both together and have always been fine.
I hope you are feeling a bit better and managed to get some rest.

I'm on citralopram and have IBS and my doctor knows I take immodium they have never said anything about it being an issue.

Thanks all! I didn't end up taking it but managed an hour of sleep after chucking up again! Feel awful today and such a bad headache!

Thought it May be food poisoning but now my youngest has had a loose nappy 😫
