Citalopram is a prescription medication that is licensed to treat depression in adults. By balancing the levels of a certain chemical in the brain, the medicine is effective in improving the symptoms of depression. In clinical studies, people who took citalopram were also less likely to relapse. Potential side effects of the drug include drowsiness, sweating, and nausea.
Perhaps you need to talk to your daughter, don't really think that Citalopram will make anyone 'high', but its always recommended to talk to a pharmacist for more & accurate info.
Take care, & wish your daughter well!

Kandykilla420,
I have heard of some people TRYING to get high on citalopram because it can cause weird/abnormal dreams. Like Rajive pointed out, there are much worse side effects from this med that would seriously outweigh the potential "high"-convulsions, suicidal ideations, nausea, vomiting, and heart palpiatations, just to name a few. I would second Rajive's idea to talk with your daughter and find out why she's taking them. Hope this helps.

i take citalopram 60mg the highest dosage i also smoke weed and occasionally drink, when i have a smoke i dont feel anything else apart from the usual effects of marijuana i.e chilled relaxed and happy to be here
these tablets dont infact they only seem to give me a bad head and low appetite for food and i struggle to sleep and then i struggle to wake up its just a yukky feeling that i get from them
put it this way i'd love my doctor to prescribe me with weed instead as it helps loads weed stops my bad thoughts of killing my self weed makes me wanna be here weed makes me happy it blocks out the past ok i'm not saying its a permanent cure its just temporally relief but it works as soon as i run out of weed am back down on the bottom again in my bedroom most of the time even while just taken these tablets

Hi, I too am on 60mg (maximum dosage) and never got a "high" of any kind on them. On this dosage regular ECG monitoring is essential. I would fully endorse what Delila has said that to exceed the prescribed dosage could not only cause "serotonin syndrome" but possible cardiac seizure. Use only as prescribed! Bestest

I have recently been prescribed Citalopram and took it for the first time last night. Within an hour, I did start to feel a type of high. However, this didn't last very long, as drowsiness and nausea set in. All throughout the night as I slept, I had periodic moments that woke me from my sleep. Around 7 am, I was jolted from my sleep with this surge of what felt like electricity. I woke up with slight nausea that went away within an hour resulting in no other side effects.
