Unrelated : The citalopram isn't associated with vaginal yeast infections. But antibiotics are. Also, your hygiene may play a role in their frequency. Have you tried lactobacillus or other macrobiotics to slow it down? Avoid douching as this can worsen the problem. See <http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmedhealth/pmh0002480/ >.
