Poison Control #: I agree with Dr. Reynolds. However, I really would not rely on the general heath information section of HealthTap for something you are concerned might be a medical emergency. You can call American Association of Poison Control Centers at (800) 222-1222 - 24/7 whenever you are worried about toxicity issues.

My daughter is on celexa and has been for a year. Lately especially she has been acting out and when I take things away (like her phone laptop etc..) it doesnt phase her and its like shes emotionless. Could it be the celexa making her like this?
