Medical - Citalopram for Anxiety
My daughter is on Citalopram. A months supply costs $37.51, OH's insurance covers 80% of that cost so we only pay $7.50. Just for info her dosage is 20mg per day.

Re: Medical - Citalopram for Anxiety
Just a thought. I've looked at the cost of Citalopram in Canada and thought that it would be cheaper (since your daughter is on 20mg) to buy the 40mg pack for a little more money, then breaking them in half to double the amount bought and still have the correct dosage. I currently live in the UK and go up and down dosage as required, and my GP suggest that I do this. Saves a lot of cash in the long run, in Canada.
