Suggest An Alternative For Citalopram 20 Mg
I am ;87 years old, and have had a stom;ach tube for two years, no swallowing. I am depressed, so the doctor put me on citalopram 20 mg. (generic for celexa) The first tablet, crushed and put in my stomach tube made me very nauseated for 24 hours. I havenn t taken one today. I took the first one yesterday. Should I try to take it?
