If you or someone you know has anxiety or depression, your doctor may prescribe a prescription medication to treat your symptoms. This medication is known as a benzodiazepine (benzodiazepine hydrochloride), which is an anti-anxiety (anxiety) drug. Benzodiazepines work by affecting how a body reacts to a substance, which can make it difficult for the body to function properly.
Citalopram (or Celexa), an anti-anxiety drug, is used for treating anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Citalopram (or Celexa) is also sometimes used to treat depression, as well as other mental health conditions. Citalopram is also used to treat insomnia, which is a common symptom of depression. Other anti-anxiety drugs, such as buspirone (BuSpar), do not help with anxiety symptoms but can help manage certain types of anxiety.
When prescribed to treat panic disorder or anxiety, Citalopram is sometimes used to help manage anxiety symptoms. For example, Citalopram can help reduce anxiety symptoms such as difficulty falling asleep, and trouble being aroused. Citalopram may also help with sleep problems, which can occur due to poor coordination or poor sleep.
Take Citalopram exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose of Citalopram should be taken at least 1 hour before a meal or activity. The amount of Citalopram that you should take will depend on your symptoms, but most people find the lowest dose to be the most effective. This means that you will usually take your dose of Citalopram at the same time every day. Your doctor will tell you how much to take and when to take it. The medication should not be taken more than once in 24 hours.
If you take too much Citalopram, you may feel dizzy or lightheaded. You can take this medication with or without food, but it will not help you with anxiety symptoms. If you are taking medication for anxiety or depression, talk to your doctor about what you should do to manage symptoms of your condition. Some people may also need help with certain symptoms of anxiety. Your doctor will help you make an informed decision about the best course of treatment for you.
Citalopram may cause some side effects. These side effects are not usually serious and go away on their own. If you notice any of these symptoms, or any other unusual side effects while taking Citalopram, please let your doctor know so they can make a determination as to whether Citalopram is right for you.
The most common side effects of Citalopram include dry mouth, headache, nausea, vomiting, and insomnia. Other side effects are not usually serious and go away on their own.
If you have any of these symptoms, or any unusual side effects while taking Citalopram, please let your doctor know so they can make a determination as to whether Citalopram is right for you.
If you or someone you know is struggling with anxiety, depression, or panic disorder, talk to your doctor. This may help to alleviate any symptoms you may have. You may also be able to help your anxiety symptoms with medication such as a benzodiazepine. Your doctor will give you a prescription and take you to the hospital if needed. If you are on benzodiazepine medication, your doctor may prescribe Citalopram for you.
If you have a family member who is experiencing anxiety or depression, your doctor may prescribe a benzodiazepine medication to help treat these conditions. Citalopram is an anti-anxiety drug. It is a class of medication known as a benzodiazepine. It works by binding to a specific region of the brain involved in controlling anxiety and depression symptoms.
