Is It Risky To Take Citalopram?
I found out my husband is taking steroids (I have no idea which one only that it is a cycle thing and for bulking up). He is taking Citalopram for depression/anxiety. Is he risking his health by taking them together (noting he is taking a risk by taking steroids at all of course)? I just wonder if he is increasing his chance of medical problems, drug interactions, or extreme mood problems.

Hi.
I understand your concern.
Long term use of steroid cqn cause health hazards but it depend upon dose and duration of treatment.
Citalopram is antidepressant and relatively safe to use long term.
Both has some kind of interaction but continues monitoring and regular check up are advisable.
Consult psychiatrist for further assistance.
Glad to help you further.
Thank you.
