Citalopram And Menstrual Periods
Posted: 10-01-06 04:32am

I started taking citalopram (a ssri) about 4 weeks ago for an anxiety disorder. I am also on birth control pills. The problem is that I have missed my period. I have never missed a period! I always get it at the same time every month. I am definately not pregnant. I read the leaflet that comes with the medication and it says that a side effect of the medication is changes to your menstrual period. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or has some information for me about what I should do or if this is normal.

Thanks Smile

I aint no expert or anything but taken any sort of drug expecally birth control ones could force you to miss your period I would of thought, missing periods is also natrual I think and if u neva experianced it b4 then mayb this is your time.
