Have been taking Citalopram 10mg for 4 months and now have severe muscle spasm in my back muscles.
Can I take co-codamol while still using Citalopram?
Thanks for any replies.

I have been on both but not at the same time.
Co-codamol is a painkiller but unfortunately the main side effect is constipation.
Citalopram, as you know, is an anti-depressant.
I think it's best if you ask your doctor if it's advisable to take these both at the same time and, if so, is your muscle pain linked to this?
Hope this helps.
Take care,
Zoe

Please speak to your pharmacist, you can always just give them a call if that's easier and they can help you. I know this doesn't answer your question, but people on this forum are definitely not qualified to be giving medicinal advice, especially with these kinds of medication!

Still feel a bit unsure, will see how painful my back becomes.

I have taken Cit and co codamol together without any issues.
if you are really worried, might I suggest you use a TENS maching to relieve tha pain. You can buy one from you chemist.
Good luck
