Who qualifies for Citalopram

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine if Citalopram is a suitable treatment. They look for specific criteria, including a confirmed diagnosis of depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, or panic disorder. The doctor considers your full medical history, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions. Citalopram is typically prescribed when other initial therapies haven't been effective or aren't suitable. Factors such as certain heart conditions, liver problems, or interactions with other drugs may contraindicate its use. The doctor ensures Citalopram is safe and effective for your specific health profile.

What Citalopram actually does (and doesn't do)

Citalopram is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI). It works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a natural chemical in your brain that helps maintain mental balance. By making more serotonin available, Citalopram can improve mood, sleep, and appetite, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. It doesn't provide an immediate cure but helps manage symptoms over time. You might start feeling some improvement within 1-2 weeks, but the full therapeutic effect often takes 4-6 weeks to become noticeable. It's important to understand that Citalopram is part of a broader treatment plan and works best alongside other supportive measures.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Citalopram can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects can include nausea, dry mouth, insomnia, drowsiness, increased sweating, or sexual dysfunction. These are usually mild and often diminish as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if you experience severe side effects such as suicidal thoughts, severe allergic reactions, or unusual bleeding, you must seek immediate medical attention. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration. Never stop taking Citalopram abruptly without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Your Hi-Doctor will provide clear guidance on what to watch for and when to seek further advice.
