[|Human|] Hi I am being weaned off citalopram and am on 10mg every other day and have just been put on the mini pill . A few months ago the combination made me really tearful so I came off the pill and put a halt on sex. I ve gone back on the pill again and It doesn t seem so bad this time but is this normal? Should they effect each others effectiveness? I don t really know what to do my gp just told me to use a condom and nothing else but I d rather not take any risks.
[|AI|]  Hi there ~ It is a good choice to use both contraceptives, the condom and the minipill, as the chances of you becoming pregnant on these two methods is very, very low.  I would also suggest that you relieve your anxiety by using the methods that have been suggested by your doctor.  Citalopram is helpful for depression, and you should continue to take the medication.  Do not worry about the libido as the side effect, it will get better over time.  I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day !
