New Celexa Warning!
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:52 pm
Hi,
I have read that different people have tried Celexa as part of a chemical castration warning. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States has issued a new warning in August stating that Celexa can cause a deadly interference with the electrical rhythm of the heart. I have been on the drug for 11 years as part of a bipolar regiment and my doctor had to lower my dosage. The FDA does not recommend doses over 40mg anymore. The full warning can be found at the link below. I just wanted to share since I was surprised when my pharmacist recently flagged my prescription refill.
