Should I stop citalopram if I want to get pregnant?

Good morning, ma'am,

Several references report that citalopram can be continued in women who are trying to conceive and in pregnant women. One must always weigh the benefits and risks of treating or not treating depression or anxiety, and the possible effects of this condition on the pregnancy and the fetus

Before stopping the medication, I strongly advise you to consult your pharmacist who will be able to personalize the information and contact your doctor if necessary. They will be in a better position to give you all the information relevant to your situation to help you make an informed decision.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
