is it safe to take celexa (citalopram) and baclofen both 2gether for ongoing txs?any reason 2 fear a bad reaction?, or not 2 take em both?

Question

I could really use as many dr's 2 answer 2 support that celexa (citalopram) & baclofen have no bad interaction taken together, especially local dr's..2 use as ref?

Answer 1

I wouldn't worry: 2 classes of drugs, often used together. That being said, because of the sedation with Baclofen if you're only taking one a day i'd take it at bedtime, unless you need it during the day. Citalopram (celexa) can be taken in the morning or at night if it doesn't effect your sleep. If you have MS or spasticity and need Baclofen several times a day take the Celexa (citalopram) when you have less in the way of pos.

Answer 2

Together: Baclofen concomitant use with celexa, (citalopram) patient have to be advise about respiratory depressant effects, avoid hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination.Please , notify your physician if you experience excesive or prolonged CNS effects.

Answer 3

No interaction: Although there is no known significant interaction for these two medications, it is always advised using combo meds with cautions. If you must take the medicinesm pay atttention to your body, as u get older u r more prone to side effects which u may not have when younger etc. When in doubt, consult your doc. Good luck.

Answer 4

Call for questions: Common reactions after vaccines include mild fussiness, low grade fevers for a day or two, and maybe a mild pink rash. (certain vaccines, like measles or chicken pox, tend to cause their reactions after several days or so.) anything beyond these common signs deserves a call to your child's pediatrician.

Answer 5

Call your doctor: Low grade fever, fussiness, and a little redness at the site are common and cause no long term problems. A high fever of 103 or more, a seizure (very rare, ) screaming inconsolably, difficulty breathing, or the presence of a large, warm, reddened area at the site warrant a call to your doctor.

Answer 6

Call: Call your pediatrician's office right away to discuss. If it is after hours call the pediatrician on call for your practice for further advice.

Answer 7

Call your doctor: Discuss with them the issues you are having and see if the child needs to be seen.

Answer 8

Call somebody!: If they are having difficulty breathing, are seizing, are dusky or blue, or are lethargic, call 911. Otherwise, call your doctor's office immediately. If there is not a timely response and/or you are not comfortable with waiting, go to the nearest emergency room.

Answer 9

Call doctor quickly: If a baby is having a worrisome reaction after a vaccination, the parent should call the doctor right away. Of course, if the reaction is severe, the parent should first call 911 for an ambulance, and then call the doctor after the ambulance has arrived.

Answer 10

No: A few years ago the answer would have been yes, but with the latest studies it appears that offering these foods between 6 months and a year may actually help prevent allergies to them. However if your child actually demonstrates an allergy to a certain food then certainly avoid that food.

Answer 11

No: The first question to ask is if there are people in your family with food allergies. If so, it is a good idea to avoid these foods until the baby is 2 years old. Talk with your pediatrician about seeing an allergist as well. However if there are no food allergies you may introduce foods slowly, one food every 3-4 days. This way you can tell if your baby has a reaction to a certain food.

Answer 12

No: I would not advise avoiding particular foods, because the vast majority of people tolerate all such foods including peanut, milk, egg, soy, wheat, and fish. I would introduce these foods at an age appropriate time as advised by your pediatrician. Delaying introduction will not lessen the chance of developing allergy. I would, of course, still delay solids until at least 4 months of age.

Answer 13

Side effects?: Valproic acid is mainly used for the treatment of seizure disorders , bipolar depression or prevention of migraine headaches most important side effects are weight gain, occasional hair loss and ovarian cysts . It rarely causes fetal abnormalities (related to the development of the neural tube)in pregnancy.

Answer 14

Yes: Yes, you can get the allergic reaction afterwards. Some physicians refer to this as delayed allergic reaction.
