A member asked:
Should i wait until citalopram is out of my system to start fluoxetine cause it says they can interact or does that mean if they are taken together?

Consult provider: The provider directing this change should advise you on this, but if you must decide on your own - play it as safe as possible. Even for your own ability to evaluate the new drug, it will be clearer if the old one is not clouding the water. But the doctor is responsible and needs to be involved if possible. Best!
