A member asked:

How long after my last citalopram dose can i take tramadol? i'm quitting the citalopram but i know together they can cause serotonin syndrome.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do not take: Citalopram stays in your system for a long time. It is best not to take tramadol until you have been off the citalopram for one week.
