Research Notes on Citalopram and Swollen Eyes
Citalopram (Celexa) is a drug prescribed for the treatment of depression. Swelling of the eyes after taking citalopram is a rare side effect associated with an allergic reaction. Common side effects of citalopram are a decrease in sexual ability, blurred vision, lack of emotion, or skin rash. If more serious side effects such as swollen, itchy, or red eyes occur, consult a physician immediately.1
Fast Facts:
- Citalopram should not be taken with any antidepressants classified as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).2
- If you are currently taking MAO inhibitors, discontinue use and wait at least 14 days before taking citalopram.2
- Alcohol consumption can increase the likelihood and severity of side effects.3
- When you using citalopram, consult a doctor before taking any pain killers. 3
