A member asked:

Normal for heart burn to increase after being on celexa (citalopram) 10mg for 4 days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GERD: Not to my knowledge. Actually, Celexa (citalopram) has been used in some instances to treat patients with esophageal spasm. Nausea, dry mouth and diarrhea can be side effects. Try taking the Celexa (citalopram) with or without food and see if there is a difference.
