Does anyone know if Citalopram HBR Tabs are gluten-free?  It is the  generic
equivalent to Celexa (an antidepressant).  It just came out on the  market and
my health insurance provider substituted it for my regular brand-name  drug
without asking or telling me.  My health insurance required mail-order
prescriptions, so I had no choice.

I had a problem with another prescription drug that was a generic  brand.
When I asked my health insurance provider about its GF status,  they told me,
"It is exactly the same as the brand name, so if it's gluten-free  then the
generic is too."  Well, it turned out that the generic was NOT GF  and I was sick
for weeks!!  I don't want this to happen again!  Any  help would be
appreciated!  Thanks!
