Who qualifies for Citalopram

Citalopram is an SSRI antidepressant primarily used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. An EU-licensed doctor will assess your medical history, current symptoms, and any other medications you are taking to determine if Citalopram is appropriate and safe for you. The doctor looks for a clear diagnosis of conditions like major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Contraindications or existing conditions that might make Citalopram unsafe will also be carefully reviewed.

What Citalopram actually does (and doesn't do)

Citalopram works by increasing the levels of serotonin in your brain, a natural chemical that helps regulate mood. By blocking the reabsorption of serotonin, it allows more of it to be available, which can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and alleviate symptoms of depression. It's important to understand that Citalopram is not an instant fix. It typically takes 2 to 4 weeks to start feeling the effects, and the full benefits may not be noticeable for 4 to 6 weeks. It helps manage symptoms, but it does not cure the underlying condition. Consistency in taking the medication as prescribed is key for its effectiveness.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Citalopram can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, dry mouth, sweating, drowsiness, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction. These are often mild and temporary as your body adjusts. More serious, but rare, side effects can include serotonin syndrome (agitation, confusion, rapid heart rate, fever) or an increase in suicidal thoughts, especially in young adults. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, or if your mood worsens, contact a healthcare professional immediately. Do not stop taking Citalopram abruptly, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Your doctor will advise on how to gradually reduce the dosage if treatment needs to be discontinued.
