What To Do When Child Has Taken Celexa Accidentally?

what do i do if my child has accidentally taken my medicine........the generic for celexa. I am not sure how many i had taken. I counted 25 and i cant remember if the Rx was for 28 or 30 so there is a possibility that sh could have eaten more than one. I have called poision control and they are checking back in with me but do i need to take her to the Emergency room?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child.

Celexa contains citalopram and it's poisoning can cause nausea, vomiting, central nervous system excitement and even death.

I suggest you to immediately report to er.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
