Who qualifies for Citalopram

Citalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. Doctors typically prescribe it to treat depression, various anxiety disorders (like panic disorder and social anxiety), and sometimes obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for a clear diagnosis of these conditions and assesses your medical history to ensure Citalopram is safe and appropriate. They consider any other medications you are taking and potential contraindications.

You must be an adult and provide accurate medical information during the online consultation. The doctor's primary concern is your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Citalopram actually does (and doesn't do)

Citalopram works by increasing the levels of serotonin in your brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, sleep, appetite, and other functions. By blocking the reabsorption (reuptake) of serotonin, Citalopram helps balance brain chemistry, leading to improved mood and reduced anxiety. It does not provide an instant fix; it takes time for the medication to build up in your system and for you to feel its full effects, typically several weeks. Citalopram cannot cure depression or anxiety, but it can significantly manage symptoms, allowing you to function better and engage in other therapeutic interventions.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Citalopram can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, dry mouth, sweating, tremor, drowsiness, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction. These often improve after the first few weeks as your body adjusts. More serious but rare side effects can include severe allergic reactions, serotonin syndrome (symptoms like agitation, hallucinations, rapid heart rate, fever), and increased bleeding risk. If you experience severe side effects, sudden changes in mood or behavior, or worsening depression, contact a doctor immediately. Never stop Citalopram suddenly without medical advice, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor will discuss potential side effects and monitoring with you.
