Re: Bitterness of Citalopram in Liquid Titration (with response)

[Guest guest]

I recently found a pharmacist in Toronto Ontario that creates the

liquid form of ANYTHING for you (even though conventional doctors

tell us it's not possible and/or not a good idea- that's what the

drug companies want us to think, my experience has been fine with

them), and they have fillers to inject into it that makes it taste

better. look around (if you can afford them, they are covered by

company medical plans). also, the pharmacist told me if you expose it

to oxygen too much, it gets even more bitter, although I'm not sure

how that will help in your situation, since you don't have a bottle

to leave a cap off of, hence exposing it to too much oxygen and

increasing the bitterness.

*** The bitterness can be overcome by combinig the liquid drug with fruit

juice. Just use common sense for these things.

It is not necessaryto have a pharmacy-made liquid. Thousands of people have

done it themselves at home with no trouble at all.
