I'm on cetalopram can i take norethisterone? (i have heavy vaginal bleeding 3 weeks now, i don't know why, gp don't know and don't send me to a specia

Yes: Citalopram is an SSRI which is an anti-depressant. Norethindrone is a progesterone which can help with heavy vaginal bleeding and is safe if you are over the age of 35 (estrogens are not).
