Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.

Cymbalta- duloxetine- is an SNRI group of drug while celexa- citalopram- is and SSRI. You can take celexa for a while. If you have taken celexa in past you can take it without any problem.

To guide you further please provide more information.

- What dose of cymbalta are you taking, since when and for which problem?

- What strength of tablets celexa do you have?

I will be happy to help further after your response.
