MODERATE
Interaction Found
Taking citalopram and duloxetine together can increase serotonin in your body too much, which may cause serious symptoms like confusion, rapid heartbeat, or muscle stiffness. These drugs can also increase bleeding risk, especially if you take blood thinners.
What to do: Tell your doctor you're taking both medications. Don't stop taking either drug without talking to your doctor first. Report any unusual symptoms like confusion, shaking, or unusual bruising. Your doctor may adjust your doses or monitor you more carefully.
