What to do if i have fda warns heart risk with high doses with celexa (citalopram)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rhythm: Celexa (citalopram) should not be used if you have had a recent heart attack or congestive heart failure. But the real issue is QT prolongation - if you have a family hx of this, or are known to have it, you should not take Celexa (citalopram). Bottom line: an EKG should be done on your current dose. If your QT is okay, you can use Celexa (citalopram) safely. As with all meds, you/your doc must balance the benefits with potential risks
