Can antidepressants cause hydrocephalus?
Hi,
I have just started taking Citalopram 20mg, an antidepressant for moderate depression. I was born with hydrocephalus and have a shunt in place which is placed under the skin in my skull. I was wondering if antidepressants like Citalopram can cause hydrocephalus/shunt malfunction as I have been experiencing "twinges" at the back of my head. Like, momentary headache pressure pain. It may just be the anxiety from the med kicking in as a side effect so I may have nothing to worry about. I just want to put my mind at rest.
Thanks.
