Hi All! I have a question for any of the Citalopram users out there. Hi all

I had read (on the internet take that with a grain of salt) that the use of Fluvoxamine is helpful for Covid or not to get a bad case. I had Covid last year and Thank G-D it was a mild case. I was also on 20 mg of Citalopram at the time. Since Fluvoxamine is in the same class of drug (SSRI) I was wondering if any of you out there are taking Citalopram and what was your experience with Corvid? Did you get it while on this medication? Was it a mild case? I am worried about the Delta variant and have been tapering off the Citalopram. I'm wondering if I should stay on it longer until the Delta passes. Interestingly one of my sons had Covid a few month ago and my other son who sleeps in his room did not get any symtpoms, and he too is on 20 mg. of Citalopram. This is why I am asking for information in this forum to see if there could be a trend of people who are on Citalopram (or other SSRI), and not getting or getting mild Covid.

Thanks for all your responses!

Jake
