What Are The Possible Side Effects Of Taking Citolopran And Iterax Together?
Hello Doc, I am suffering from insomia. I ve been to two psychiatrist for almost 7 months. The first psychiatrist give me olanzapine that have a bad side effect and cause depression, so he give me serenata but I m not feeling well. I go to other psychiatrist for a second opinion she give me citolopran for depression and solian but i feel cold every morning. so she give iterax and advise me to stopped taking solian . Im continously take citolopran and iterax that make me feel good. i m easily feel asleep and I sleep with enough time. Are there any side effect that i may encouter for taking this medicine.
Hydroxyzine (Iterax) taken together with citalopram may cause some changes in the heart electric waves and may increase the risk for rhythm problems (torsades de point) which may be serious. It is recommended to use alternative drugs that do not have such interaction.
I hope this answers your query and is helpful to you. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
