Best Answer

Citalopram ingested prior to any of the amphetamine salts with the exception of Ritalin (Methylphenidate) will potentiate the effects of amphetamine. The mechanism of action takes place in the liver. Amphetamine is inactivated by the CYP2D6 Enzyme, where as Citalopram is a strong CYP2D6 Inhibitor(Blocks the action of). Therefore Citalopram blocks the body's ability to remove amphetamine from the blood stream, leading to higher blood concentrations.

WARNING: This combination can cause Serotonin Syndrome(Which Can Be Fatal!) Approach with caution. It's recommended to consult your health care professional about all medications.

Does taking Celexa with amphetamine mixture reduced the effect of the amphetamine?

Direct answer: No.Celexia also known as "Citalopram" is an antidepressant that is used to cure major depression.Using Citalopram while being under the effects of amphetamine will certainly cap the "high" you get from the amphetamine; however, the serotonin levels in the brain will increase and make you happier.It depends on the amount you take, but a certain large dose would bring you to your feet, making you feel fatigued rather than exhausted.NOTE: Additional strains on the heart will occur, be careful, and never touch alcohol (etanol) while you're mixing these substances, it may even kill you.- Meryl Linder, Norway.
