IMO, 40mg citalopram may be approximately 'equivalent' to 20mg fluoxetine. You may need a lot of citalopram to substitute for 80mg fluoxetine. Taking the citalopram at night would be a good idea. The maximum recommended dose of citalopram is 60mg per day, although this restriction is not based on any good evidence, higher doses may be used if necessary......and if your doc will prescribe........although it is unlikely that citalopram will be any more effective than fluoxetine.
