Hair Transplant and Depression
TCA's have very different pharmacology than SSRI's. TCA's have many interactions with medications that SSRI's do not. I do not know of any reason to stop SSRI's prior to hair transplantation.

Hair Transplant Surgery and SSRIs
Patients first have a one-on-one consultation with a surgeon, who should explain what to expect before and after the procedure. Once a patient decides to move forward, he is given detailed preparation instructions. This includes what medications to avoid, which does not include SSRIs. But again, you should consult and defer to your transplant doctor of physician

There is no medical reason to stop Celexa prior to your hair transplant opertion. You will get a list of medications to avoid before any surgery, including drugs that intefer with blood clotting. Enjoy the new hair.

Stopping Celexa (Citalopram) before hair transplant
There may be some significant side effects with stopping Celexa before hair transplant. Most of the SSRI's need to be weaned down. There is no need though to stop it prior to the transplant as this medication will not interfere with the procedure.

We do not have our hair grafting or hair flap patients stop this medication before surgery and have not had any problem.
