I take citalopram 20mg tab each night before I go to sleep but I just scored some coke and wanted to know if it is dangerous to use the coke while on my meds. I use coke via IV btw and its pretty strong stuff I have took 1 shot so far and it hit pretty hard and I am not feining to do another hit right away like I usually would so Im also wondering if the anti depressant is also suppressing the comedown of the coke.

BTW I checked old threads asking about taking similiar sbstances as coke while on anti depressants and didnt find a clear answer I was looking for, people responding to that thread said they THINK it would lessen the effects of the speed or cocaine and didnt say whether or not it can be harmful or even fatal. Just so yall know I did use the search feature before I went making a thread and that thread with the closest answer was so old there wasnt an option to reply, I'de rather to reply to a similliar thread than create a whole new one but I didnt have that option.

I will hold out on doing anymore coke and wait for a clear answer from someone who knows for a fact whether or not it is bad to be on both.
 
If you are taking a high dose of Citalopram, you could run the risk of developing Serotonin Syndrome.

Therapeutic dose ranges from 10mg-80mg. He's doing 20mg, so I wouldn't think it'd be too big a problem.

Obviously nobody can tell you that it's 100% safe. Everybody's different, and nobody's going to guarantee that it's a good idea.
 
I've done coke a couple of times, and meth regularly, while I've been on 40mg's of citalopram and I didn't experience any negative effects. I remember asking my doctor a while ago if there were any contraindications between meth and citalopram, and he said no. The same probably goes for coke, as meth and coke affect the same brain chemicals.
 
Well Im still alive and didnt experience anything out of the ordinary. Thanks for the responses.
