In reply to Giving Blood while on Celexa, posted by Steph on June 11, 2000, at 9:04:48
You had only been on the Celexa for 1 month-4 wks
Since one problem with Celexa at startup is vasomotor
instability, as noted by BP lability, giving blood on
a hot day at 4 wks is probably not a good idea.
Prudence would seem to say wait 6-8 weeks before blood
donation. There are many variables, such as had your
BP been stable ? for the 4 wks , etc ? The hot day
probably did not help.On Zoloft it took me 8 wks before BP was stable.
Have been on Celexa for a little over 2 wks now. still have
significant BP surges that are not fully controlled with
Inderal. This would seem to indicate that giving blood
in the first month is not the best idea, because of the
cardiovascular stress created.something to think about.
