Confused: Usual celexa (citalopram) dose is 20 to 40mg in a day. Do you think you might be confused about which medication you are taking? Be well.

No: Concerns with cardiac side effects have put limits on recommended Celexa (citalopram) dosage to 40 mg/day. Suggest you check prescription bottle label to make sure you are not mistaken. If dose is 150 mg, discuss lowering with prescribing doctor. I hope this helps and you feel better soon.

Probably not Celexa (citalopram): YOu probably mixed up the names of the drugs you are taking. 40 mg/day is usually the top dosage of Celexa (citalopram). You should talk with your doctor to clarify the situation . There are serious side effects including heart problem that can occur in high doses of this drug
