> > > > RECENTLY MY DOCTOR PUT ME ON CELEXA 20MG. I TOOK 1 PILL WHEN I GOT HOME, AND FEW HOURS LATER I WAS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM, INTOXICATED. I SAW MY PHARMACITS AND HE SAID THAT THIS DRUG SHOULD NOT HAVE AN ALLERGIC REACTION. I CALLED THE PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE AND THE RECEPTIONIST TOLD ME THAT THIS MEDICATION HAS SULFUR. THE PHARMACITS TOLD ME THAT THIS MEDICATION DOESN'T HAVE SULFUR. I GOT THE MEDICATION AS SAMPLES FROM THE DOCTORS OFFICE. DOES ANYONE CAN HELP ME WITH THIS? I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THE DOCTOR SINCE MONDAY THAT THIS HAPPENED.

> RUTHRuth - Celexa, the antidepressant, does NOT contain any sulfer. I have checked 3 references. I think (but am not positive because my notes are at work) that Celebrex, the antiarthritic is a sulfonamide-like drug & therefore would contain sulfer. This is where the receptionist may have made a mistake. A receptionist should not be giving drug advice unless he/she has had specialized training, it can lead to mix-ups. Hope this helps. Best reference - www.mentalhealth.com - click on medicines - click on Celexa and read to your heart's content. (no sulfer in drug or in the bindings or fillers). Good luck - Cam W.
