Citalopram has a critical issue that withdrawal of this drug might cause premature ejaculation

I did not know premature ejaculation is a symptom of citalopram withdrawal. Where did you read this ?

[Pharmanaut]

pharm, we had a GP on this forum stating that prescribing citalopram and amitiprtyline together is possible and increasing. do a detailed search for more info, could not find the link
xx

Would be nice if you could find this stuff quickly when you needed it.
Ie patient right in front of you.

The search I did on google scholar while waiting for him to call back for script indicated that Amitriptyline could be added to Citalopram if the citalopram alone was not working.
Anyway you have heard of 'orange wednesdays', this was 'cautious saturday'.

It's not an effect from withrawal, but rather going back to how it was before starting on a drug that delays ejaculation as SE. Believe me..delayed is not always a plus!

Can be a bit embarassing on the bus 3 days later?

Both are low dose.
Citalopram takes time to work.
With counselling I wouldn't be too concerned.

Its 10.45pm on a Friday, I've had some wine, but I thought Id better check Stockleys' after typing the above.
on p1000 it states
"serotonin syndrome seems to occur rarely ... aware of symptoms so action can be taken if symptoms occur"

So my initial reaction is correct. There can't be many slightly tipsy pharmacists who read stockleys at home on a night...

I do have an old copy - but why should one hospitals guidelines apply to primary care nationally?
