I have been taking citalopram for a year now and last week I was prescribed prednisolone for a chest infection (I'm an asthmatic) and I haven't had any side effects whatoever. Drug interations.com says there are no interations between the two meds but to be on the safe side it's always best to check with your GP.

The is NO medical contraindications to the taking of them both. It SHOULD be safe.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citalopram look here it tells you
Depends on the animal. Horses cannot convert prednisone to predinisolone, so prednisolone is the drug of choice.
It is typically not recommended to drink alcohol while taking prednisone because it can be very hard on the liver. It's also not recommended to drink alcohol if you are taking prednisone for Ulcerative Colitis because it can worsen your symptoms.
Of course you can! It doesn't always work.
Yes. But both may cause gastritis or gastric ulcers.
I've been doing it for years (on a 20mg dose) and have never had a problem. If you are super concerned, I would suggest asking your doctor, but I would say that you are probably fine.
Yes. Excess sedation may occur.
i take citalopram and was give diaxapram for a back pain is it safe
There are several different possible side effects when taking Citalopram. Some of these things include anxiety, chest pain, lightheadedness, bleeding and bruising, and thoughts of wanting to hurt yourself.
No you cannot. Taking different drugs at once is dangerous and not recommended. By the way, Lexapro is better.
My pharmasist recommended unisom as I am taking citalopram too.
