Is It Normal For Periods To Stop After Stopping Citalopram
Hi, I m 20 years old and a month ago stopped taking Citalopram. Since then I have had no period but slight menstrual cramping, when on the drug I was having almost a constant period... Is it normal for my periods to stop like this? I m also on the birth control pill.

Hello,
No, it is not an effect of stopping Citalopram but it is a side effect of O C Pills.
OC Pills cause irregular menstruation very commonly. If this continues, please see your gynecologist switch over to some other form of protection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
