4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone at any pharmacy in the EU (including Greece) to collect your Citalopram medication.

Who qualifies for Citalopram

Citalopram (often known by brand names like Celexa) is an SSRI antidepressant. Doctors typically prescribe it for major depressive disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and sometimes for anxiety disorders. When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for a clear diagnosis of these conditions and assesses your medical history for any contraindications, such as certain heart conditions or interactions with other medications you may be taking. It is crucial to provide accurate and complete information in your medical questionnaire for a proper assessment by the EU-licensed doctor.

What Citalopram actually does (and doesn't do)

Citalopram works by increasing serotonin levels in your brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, sleep, and appetite. By balancing serotonin, Citalopram helps alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, improving your emotional well-being. It is not an instant fix; it typically takes several weeks of consistent use to feel the full therapeutic effects. It does not cure depression or anxiety, but rather manages the symptoms, helping you regain control and improve your quality of life. Always take Citalopram exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

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 often mild and temporary as your body adjusts. However, if side effects persist, worsen, or if you experience severe symptoms like unusual bleeding, seizures, or signs of an allergic reaction, contact a healthcare professional immediately. Never stop taking Citalopram abruptly without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Your Hi-Doctor will provide guidance on safe use and what to watch for.
