Citalopram Hydrobromide

Citalopram Hydrobromide , medically known as citalopram, is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that is used to treat patients who have depression.

As an antidepressant, it works by producing more serotonin in the brain to help keep the brain chemically balanced.

Citalopram Hydrobromide comes as a tablet and liquid taken by mouth once a day with or without food. It usually takes about one to four weeks before you feel the full benefits of this medication.

The most common side effects of Citalopram Hydrobromide include tiredness, drowsiness, nervousness, dry mouth, sweating, lack of appetite, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, tremor, weight changes, and changes in sex ability or drive.

Citalopram Hydrobromide may also be used in the treatment of other medical conditions, as suggested by your doctor.

I have taken citalopram for years and I can't tell you the difference it has made in me. i have taking many antidepressants over the years and this is the one that has helped me the most. I have told many of my friends about this medicine and they have also started taking it with good results.

I call them my "happy pils", as they allow to to feel happy as well as all the other emotions. Having been on Prozac over the years, Citalopram does not give that "grey", bland, running thru Jello feeling. I found that after two weeks, I was able to focus on issues that were effecting me. I also could laugh as well as cry... "normal" everyday feelings. I have nothing but good to say about this drug, as I have tried, thru the years, all the anit-depressants. This one works for me.

My husband took this medication and it made him feel anxious and restless. I had never seen him like this. It scares me to think that it has this effect on him or other soldiers that were over seas because it seems that in this state there is no telling what will happen.
