What are the risks of interaction between citalopram and amphetamines (speed)?

Hello,The use of amphetamines like speed when a person is taking an antidepressant like citalopram is of course not recommended. This can bring what is known as "serotoninergic" toxicity, meaning that the person feels not very well, feels more agitated than a person not taking an antidepressant, may feel very hot, shaky, have eyes that "twitch", etc. Taking an Ativan before bed will not reduce this risk. That said, you should also be aware that amphetamines found "on the street" often contain a panoply of different products, so the speed you took may well contain other active products and the risk of interaction with street drugs is multifaceted and very difficult to predict.Does this answer your question well?
