Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Taking cocaine is not a good thing more so if you already have some psychiatric issues. You are trying hard to control your brain neurotransmitters but then taking cocaine would certainly disturb the balance. Cocaine withdrawal can be bad but you have to tolerate it. You may take some propranolol 40 mg or clonazepam 0.5 mg to counteract the anxiety producing withdrawal symptoms of cocaine.
Otherwise regarding the citalopram, you may take it at its regular time. No need to skip the dosage or change the timing cause of previous nights cocaine use.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
