im confused?

Question

ok i have to perscriptions here one is citalopram and the ohter is fluoxetine and i dont remember what they are for? any one know

Answer 1

Citalopram is used to treat depression, and so is fluoxetine. Are you sure these are both your medications, or are you trying to find out what a friend/lover/relative/workmate is taking medication for?
If they are yours then talk to a healthcare professional as you are obviously not taking them if you can't remember what they are. If you are taking two types of anti-depressants does your health-care professional know? Or did you "doctor shop" to get the pills you want?
Either way I think it wouldn't hurt to get a medication review.
All the best, B
