Hi, I saw a TV show that recommended omega 3 and magnesium for anxiety and depression. Ive checked online and cant see any reason why they could have a negative interaction with citralopram and pregabalin. Anyone here know of any potential issues?

I'm taking them and no interactions that I have noticed my muscle spasms settled down and hair is not falling out as much. I also take centrum silver it's for people who are over 50 and I'm in late 20s but it helps with my hair loss a lot as it was falling g out due to stress recently.

Think you are right as I got it on citalopram and sertraline. Has yours improved at all. I'm back on citalopram so hoping won't be too bad. Trying collagen shampoo seems be helping bit. I'm bit wary of any supplements as anything I've tried in zop withdrawal made symptoms lot worse.

I only shower can you take them by mouth? I'm 4 days into citalopram expect it to be bit up and down first couple weeks, but think slightly better than when on sertraline. Waking at about 4 am every day but do get few hours sleep so could be worse. If it works will put up with the hair problems!

to be honest i never had anxiety until withdrawal and cit didnt suit me, it does for so many others, forums are great, when i was going through mirt withdrawal i started my own support group on facebook, its still going today and has helped many people, this is a really tough thing to go through but we will all get there, patience is key x

she's actually been on meds for years for depression guess I'm bit over sensitive. Never thought year after stopping zopiclone would still be suffering people seem think you should be recovered after couple months. Hopefully citalopram will eventually kick in!

hi lou, im super sensitive so i try to get everything i need from food, have tried various vitamins and they all triggered me, you may be different though, i use epsoms salts which contain magnesium and im fine with them, if youre going to introduce those bits, try one at a time and low doses so if they do cause any problems youll know which one it is x
