Who qualifies for Citalopram
Citalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) primarily prescribed for major depressive disorder and certain anxiety disorders, including panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). When you complete your online questionnaire, the EU-licensed doctor assesses your medical history, current symptoms, and any other medications you are taking. The doctor looks for a clear diagnosis of depression or anxiety where Citalopram is an appropriate first-line or continuing treatment. Contraindications, such as certain heart conditions, interactions with other SSRIs or MAOIs, or severe liver impairment, will be carefully considered. The doctor ensures Citalopram is safe and suitable for your specific health profile.
What Citalopram actually does (and doesn't do)
Citalopram works by increasing the levels of serotonin in your brain. Serotonin is a natural chemical that helps regulate mood, sleep, and appetite. By blocking the reabsorption of serotonin into nerve cells, Citalopram makes more of it available, which can improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. You won't feel immediate effects; it typically takes 2 to 4 weeks to notice significant improvement, with full benefits often appearing after 6 to 8 weeks of consistent use. Citalopram helps manage symptoms, but it is not a cure for depression or anxiety, and it works best as part of a broader treatment plan that may include therapy.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Citalopram can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness or insomnia, increased sweating, and sexual dysfunction. These are often mild and temporary as your body adjusts. However, it's crucial to be aware of more serious signs. Contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling), unusual bleeding or bruising, seizures, or symptoms of serotonin syndrome (agitation, hallucinations, rapid heartbeat, fever, severe nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea). Never stop taking Citalopram abruptly without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. If the doctor determines Citalopram is not appropriate, your €25 consultation fee is refunded.
