A member asked:
On celexa (citalopram) /genic one a day , lowest dosage is it safe to take 2 a day ? per gp advice? will it make me more tired?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually safe: Celexa (citalopram) can be dose to 40 mgs daily. The vast majority of patients tolerate this dose well. For many years the FDA approved dosing to 60 mgs daily. The medication is broken down in the liver by an enzyme called CYP2D6. Many medications can inhibit this enzyme and some people have a form of the enzyme that does not work as well, so the FDA decreased the maximum dose. Sedation can occur.
