Can i take imitrex (sumatriptan) right after celexa?

Yes: Imitrex (sumatriptan) is immediately acting, while Celexa is a long acting medication, they both target serotonin and serotonin receptors, but are often used in combination for migraine headaches.

Absolutely not: Taken together, there is a risk of serotonin syndrome which may cause serious symptoms requiring hospitalization.
