citalopram 20 mg day-1for 3 months who presented a marked sinus
bradycardia (34 beats/min) 11 days after the citalopram dose was increased to 40
mg day-1. The bradycardia was clinically asymptomatic and disappeared
within 24 h after citalopram was stopped. Citalopram blood levels were in the
usual therapeutic range.
