581954 tn?1223391496 I have used this in the past and it is a type of medication grouped into SSRIs (Zoloft (Sertraline), Paxil, Prozac, Lexapro, etc. These affect people in different ways, so it is sometimes hard to say how each individual will react. I am a big proponent for these types of medications COMBINED with talk therapy. In my opinion, there is no 'magic pill' that will 'cure' you of anxiety or depression.
1131131 tn?1275108488 When taken with Prilosec, the clearance of citalopram may be reduced, leading to higher blood levels of citalopram. Prilosec inhibits the CYP450 2C19 enzyme, one of the two primary enzymes responsible for the metabolism of citalopram. Dosage adjustments may be needed due to this effect.
Avatar m tn Ever since I switched from Zoloft to Celexa, I have had sweats, mood swings again, very dark thoughts. I've been on it for about a month now,,a few days ago, I started getting a ringing sensation in my ears. Anyone ever had responses like this to Celexa/Citalopram?
Avatar f tn The symptoms I am experiencing on setraline/zoloft. Irregular pulse, fast pulse and slow pulse are on the serious side effect list. I am going for a heart monitor tomorrow. I am almost 100 percent sure that the antidepressants are causing my symptoms. Will these symptoms subside as often the minor ones do? I am loathe to stop them as no weight gain and ive tried so many my doctor is running out of options.
4182046 tn?1355820039 I gor diagnosed with depression and anxiety and age 16, three years later here I am and pregnant! I stopped my medication as soon as I found out (20 mg citalopram) but my anxiety and depression are so bad, I really feel like I need my medication. Has anyone taken citalopram or another antidepressent while pregnant? pros and cons?
1282280 tn?1285086420 i was diagnosed with sleep insomnia, ptsd, panic disorder, and major depresive disorder a little over a yr. ago. at first, the dr's just had me on a low dose of zoloft to see if it would help. tho it did help with the depression and a little with the anxiety, i still couldn't sleep. after raising the dose of my zoloft a few more times, and trying seroquil, the dr's finally put me on ambien when i couldn't sleep.

Avatar f tn Lots of people have read about grapefruit and hep c and are trying it but I also know a lot of people on tx or getting ready to tx are using the anti- depressant Zoloft . Zoloft is one of the drugs that can cause big danger to the liver if used with grapefruit. There are others too but this one is especially common to people on interferon/riba. I sure don't want anyone to make this mistake. There are anti depressants that are safe with grapefruit-Celexa is one of them.
Avatar f tn Depends on your md but zoloft and wellbutrin( no clue how to spell that) are frequently prescribed to pregnant women. Also depends on how severe the depression is a risks vs benefits thing. As far as anxiety not really sometimes anti depressants help. My md said take benadryl, it doesn't make you less anxious but makes you sleepy...
Avatar f tn I had been on citalopram which work great 4my anxiety and deppresion.im nw pregnant.1st i got told to stop cold turkey with the citalopram which i did but i start getting extreme anxiety after afew weeks.and dr put me on prozac which is ment to be less risky during pregnancy.ive been on it 4 2weeks now.ive seen no improvement and im scared it will harm baby.i have constant physical anxiety all day my heart races and my chest has this horrible feeling of dread.help! What can i do to ease this?
Avatar f tn you can always stick to a SSRI and try Zoloft, it is a bit different than citalopram by improving connection between both temporal lobes. Another solution regarding medication would be to try Wellbutrin. Dopamine is highly linked with pleasure sensation therefore I find it to be very effective in depressed people with lethargy. You can also try a tetracyclic that will antagonize the main receptors for serotonin (5-HTs). Such tetracyclic is mirtazapine.
Avatar f tn I took paxil for a while then switche to citalopram for atleast 6-9 months and I recently got off went to zoloft for 2 weeks then switched to depakote for 4 days an now have stopped everything except for tranquilizer Ativan but I was wondering if I should have withdrawals and for how long or is it all in my head? I feel like I'm out in lala land I'm agitated I'm sad up and down and my head feels cloudy and etc.
Avatar f tn I'm completely freaking out. I have General Anxiety Disorder and I don't think my medication is working. I've been on Citalopram (20mg) since March but my panic attacks are becoming more frequent, I'm sweating, trembling, my heart is beating super fast, I have really bad nausea, and I'm either sleeping too much or not at all. I'm terrified I'm going to fail my exams because I've been missing so many classes due to these symptoms. Help!
Avatar n tn I was just prescribed Zolft for anxiety and my doctor started me on the low dose of 50mg but said I could start off with 25mg the first few days to hopefully lessen side effects because he had originally prescribed me Citalopram but after the first dose the side effects were so bad I could barely function. Anyway, I took my first dose of Zoloft last night after dinner and aside from feeling a little queasy and fuzzy in the head it wasn't too bad but then I had a horrible night.
Avatar f tn i have had 5 years of citalopram for depression and anxiety and i had cbt for cancer phobis which worked im on 40mg and am wondering if im becoming immune to its effects as i have a lot of panic attacks does anyone know anything about this im scared to change meds as worry about side effects dont want to go to higher dose sometimes its like a living hell please help !!!!!
915119 tn?1341948989 Ok, I'm currently taking Citalopram 20mg once a day. I started on this medication about a week ago. I have noticed that for the last couple of days I have been excessively yawning and I looked it up and it said there are some health problems that cause it. Now I am super worried. Can my depression medication cause this excessive yawing, or should I worry? Please, anyone, more information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Avatar m tn Hi, I am on Citalopram for years as was mistakenly diagnosed with depression (i am bipolar 2). I wouldn't say Citalopram is additictive . I would say it is very gentle drug compare to others eg Effexor. However you can't stop taking it once as it will lead into side effects. It happened to me that after just three days of not having it I was very depressed, angry and bit of out of myself. I was on 20 mg. I am still on it but started to take mood stabilaser as well.
Avatar f tn I am on xanax and citalopram (which I just started) and therapy (which I just started). Three days ago I started feeling worse, medically. I wake up early each morning in a panic with some lose bowel issues and dry heaves or vomiting. The last three days it has been worse!! Yesterday was awful and I was so dizzy, especially during the vomiting. I will feel like I am going to pass out. The ER treated me for dehydration, gave me an EKG and ran some test. All normal, of course.
Avatar f tn He acted like he didnt really care to hear about what I was going thru or why I wanted the anti-depressant. Anyway he gave me Celexa 40 mg. I got the generic brand filled which is called Citalopram. I was just wondering if anyone here has ever taken this medicine ??? Especially if anyone has taken it while they were on Subutex. I kinda got freaked out when I googled Celexa (Citalopram) Some people reported quite a few side effects that didnt sound so good.
