Can I take 3.75 and Citalopram together?

Why this happens

Both medicines work by slowing down the activity in your central nervous system (your brain and nerves). When taken together, their sedative effects are added together, making the impact on your body much stronger.

You should use this combination with great caution. Only take these together if your doctor has specifically prescribed both and is aware you are taking them. Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform tasks that require you to be alert. It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol, as it will make these side effects even more dangerous. If you feel extremely sleepy or have trouble breathing, seek medical help immediately.
