Anonymous asked this question on 4/13/2000:

I'm being treated for depression with celexa (citalopram). I have been taking augmentin for bronchitis and had also done some over-the-counter sudafed and Afrin for congestion. Also, I have been stealing my daughter's ritalin, grinding it up, and snorting it. Last week I had a few angry outbursts. Could the interaction of these drug have resulted in the anger or does celexa have those side effects alone? I'm on 20 mg.

Ritalin is not to be "snorted." It is a mild stimulant, and it will do nothing for you except irritate your nasal cavities.

Please talk to your psychiatrist about your anti-depressant. There are several other options you can try, such as Prozac or Paxil or Zoloft, depending on the level of depression and the extent of the illness.
