I use to take Celexa for a mild case of Depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. However, a couple of years ago my insurance won't cover Celexa anymore. Hence, I went off the meds.

I would like to go to my Doctor with a name of a gluten-free medicine. So, if anyone knows a nice Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitor let me know!! LOL

Celexa is gluten-free as long as you buy the brand name which is made by Forest Pharm. They have a policy not to use gluten in any of their meds. They also make Lexapro (the newer version of Celexa). i'm on Celexa and have no problems with it. Good news, B

Thanks for the response!

I will look into the Lexapro but I think it might not be covered as its predecessor. I'm also gonna look into xanax and zoloft.

Thanks!

HMMM...Now your giving me a new direction to look into...maybe I should look into some anti anxiety med instead of a anti depressant. (I didnt know there was a difference) When I go to my doctor I will explore that option with him...

Thanks!!!!!

Where did you find gluten free Ativan? Mine had gluten in it. Waaa! I take klonopin (the generic I take is clonazepam) for anxiety in adiition to the Celexa and some of the brands are gluten free. Mine is from Teva pharm. It works incredibly well. It has helped me so much! B

Well it's not the name brand. I guess that I really don't know if it's gluten free. My Dr. knows that I can't have gluten so he doesn't put me on anythind that I can't take. But now I am going to look into it more.

Yours might be fine. I just know that my particular generic version wasn't. I threw away the bottle and i wish I hadn't because now i don't know who made it. I'm sure some of the generics are. Let me know what you find out. Thanks, Beverly

I will look and look it up and let you know. It may take a few days because I do not have a home computer but I promise I will check!

Thanks- I'll see what i can find out too. I only used it occasionally but it was nice to have if I needed it! Going gluten-free has significantly redduced my anxiety. Yippee! Beverly

Found it- if it's manufactured by Sandoz it's gluten-free. I'll have to see if anyone gets it from them in my area. B

Do a search on several of the name brand meds, then do a search on the generic name to see which companies mfr them. Call those companies so that you have your ducks in a row. This is the way my docs often pursue them with us.

Your pharmacist may be able to do like mine does and provide you with a list of mfrs for each generic and their phone numbers. We go through this with every new med. I call him and ask for the list, he prints it off for me, and I pick it up and make the calls. If he is not too busy, he will make the calls, but I do not ask for that unless I already have the rx in hand.

Great topic! New medicine- is anyone on Effexsor? (not sure about the spelling). I had to quit taking zoloft because of the side effects. I am happy on this, but I haven't checked if it was gluten free or not.

Sonjaf, I have not checked myself but I read on the Delphi forum that Effexor is gluten-free.

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
