A member asked:

I take celexa (citalopram) 40mg for mood and anxiety. is there a natural supplement i can also take along with it? i am still having some mood swings and anxiety.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Valerian: You could try valerian. However, if you have been on celexa (citalopram) for a while, you might ask your doctor about switching antidepressants. Sometimes a different one, even in the same class, could be more effective for any given person.
