Can You Have Hair Transplant Surgery if You Are Taking Celexa?

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.

Always check with your doctor doing the surgery .  There should be no reason why  you cannot have surgery based only on Celexa that you are taking from a surgical point of view.

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

I generally do not have patients stop antidepressants before surgery. However, this is something you must discuss with your specific surgeon.

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