Tina - There is no direct interaction between Celexa and cigarette smoke (it is cigarette smoke that is making you dizzy isn't it?). The polyaromatic hydrocarbons in cigarette smoke do induce liver enzymes (CYP-1A2), but this only lowers the levels of some drugs metabolized by the same system (maybe some antipsychotics, perhaps imipramine, probably mirtazapine, theophylline and methadone, and a few others). The dizziness could be a pharmacodynamic interaction where the dizziness that can be caused by Celexa is adding to the dizziness caused by nicotine. This is just a guess though. I have not heard anyone mention this before, but theoretically it is possible. - Cam W.
