celexa

Celexa (citalopram) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. By increasing the availability of serotonin in the brain, it helps improve mood and reduce feelings of anxiety. Celexa is often preferred for its relatively mild side effect profile compared to older antidepressants.

Patients on Celexa may experience side effects such as nausea, dry mouth, and insomnia, but these generally diminish over time. It may take several weeks for the full therapeutic effects to become evident. Celexa is generally well-tolerated, but abrupt discontinuation should be avoided to prevent withdrawal symptoms.
