    It says on the leaflet not to take tramadol with Citralopram. Incase of a reaction. Same goes for Ibuprofen.

    SSRI's are quite safe to take with almost all medicines, but not Tramadol, MAOI's or Zyvox.  Apparently Tramadol is pain medication that also blocks the reuptake of both serotonin and another brain chemical called norepinephrine.

    So no.

      If ever in doubt, you can check online.  People ..... you must not take Tramadol - read the leaflet that comes with the meds.  You may feel ok, but really .... no.

      I think most general pain relievers are ok, but not those ones.  On the whole though, Citalopram seem quite safe with most other medications.  Typical when you want to take the one that isn't confused
