How it works — get your Citalopram prescription in 4 steps

  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your Citalopram medication.

Who qualifies for Citalopram

Citalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) prescribed to treat depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and panic disorder. When you complete your medical questionnaire, the doctor looks for specific criteria. This includes a clear diagnosis of one of these conditions, your medical history, current medications, and any contraindications. The doctor ensures Citalopram is a safe and appropriate treatment for your specific situation. You must be an adult patient residing in the EU.

What Citalopram actually does (and doesn't do)

Citalopram works by increasing serotonin levels in your brain, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood. By preventing serotonin reabsorption, it improves communication between nerve cells, helping to stabilise mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It doesn't offer an instant cure but helps manage symptoms over time. You typically start to feel the full effects after several weeks of consistent use. Citalopram is a tool to help manage specific mental health conditions, not a general mood enhancer or a solution for situational stress without an underlying disorder.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Citalopram can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction. These are usually mild and often temporary. It's crucial to report any side effects to your doctor. Red flags that warrant immediate medical attention include severe agitation, confusion, muscle stiffness, rapid heart rate, or suicidal thoughts. Never stop taking Citalopram abruptly without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Your Hi-Doctor physician will provide clear guidance on managing side effects and when to seek further help.
