In reply to Kramer-Celexa and coidal bleeding, posted by Jaynee on April 1, 2002, at 12:03:29
Hi Jaynee,
I'm NOT Dr. Kramer, but until he logs on, I'd like to put my two cents in.
First, I think you should definitely see your gynecologist about ANY irregular bleeding, just to be on the safe side.
Second, when I was on Celexa, I had a lot of menstrual irregularities, which began shortly after I started the med, stopped when I stopped the med, and resumed when I resumed the med. Most of the irregularities I had manifested as inter-menstrual bleeding, persistent spotting, etc. I was tired all the time on Celexa. I think most of that was just from Celexa, but it could have also been from all that blood loss.
When I went to my gynecologist, he did a pap test and also sent me for a TVD (trans-vaginal Doppler ultrasound). The TVD was repeated several times to check for the thickness of the uterine lining. The advantage of the Doppler over the regular ultrasound is that it shows areas of increased blood flow.
