Can I take paracetamol with citalopram?

[Dalrymps]

I'm on my 2nd day of taking 10mg of citalopram, I have a headache which I believe is a common side effect. Just wondering if anyone knows if I can take paracetamol with it?

yes, well I certainly have with no effect

am signing a disclaimer though!!

Ok thanks, popping to boots in a bit, maybe should ask the pharmasist?

yes but you can't take ibruprofen.
The headaches (and any other side effects)should go in about a week. Stick with it because you may feel worse before you feel better but it's worth it in the long run! x

wouldn't hurt, they're normally pretty helpful in there

hope your head better soon

Don't think there's a problem with taking paracetamol.

Does it mention anything in the box?

I do. And I take Ibruprofen. I don't think there's a problem with it.

In the leaflet it only mentions not to take asprin.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, feeling pretty lousy today with the headache and feeling a bit sick but gonna pop in town now to get some paracetamol so hopefully should feel better once I've had some.

Stick with it - I felt very dodgy for about three weeks and I didn't feel 'with-it' enough to drive, but the side-effects passed and the Citalopram worked its magic.

Dalrymps, I have just started taking 10g citalopram today and I do have a headache, but then I had one before so can't tell whether it's a side effect. I did feel a bit weird in the hairdressers and wondered whether they thought I was a bit not-all-there!

Just wondered how you are feeling now and whether you're suffering from side effects? Did you find paracetemol helped?

just realised you posted message in 2008! so you may not see this. hope you are much better now.
