Probably : You would certainly want to check with your doctor but with such a low dose of elavil, adding Celexa (citalopram) would probably be okay. It would also depend on what other medications you take and on any allergies you may have.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed

Yes: This combination at those dosages should not present any issues.
