Celexa Found in Breast Milk
Many mothers mistakenly believe that the risk associated with Celexa and other citalopram treatments exists only during pregnancy. While Celexa’s pregnancy-related risks are very real, particularly during the final trimester, the reality is that women who take Celexa while they are nursing put their children at risk of ingesting citalopram through breast milk. The side effects of neonatal exposure can be significant and may include excessive somnolence, decreased feeding, and weight loss, among others.
