Celexa is the brand name for citalopram, a drug that belongs to a class of medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). According to A Mission for Michael’s guide, this medication slows down the absorption of serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for emotional stabilization and feelings of happiness. This property makes the medication effective at treating major depressive disorders, but it may be used in conjunction with psychotherapy to help individuals cope with anxiety symptoms.
As Celexa increases the amount of serotonin in the brain, it can regulate moods and improve memory and learning; users have reported milder anxiety symptoms, better sleep, and increased energy levels. Due to its effects, A Mission for Michael’s guide says that the drug can be used to manage premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) symptoms in addition to anxiety and depression disorders, and it may also be prescribed to lessen the impact of bipolar depression or compulsive disorders.
While the drug is generally well-tolerated, A Mission for Michael notes that individuals who have just started taking it may notice temporary side effects like nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, and diarrhea. However, more severe side effects, including respiratory infections, hyponatremia (dangerously low blood sodium levels), and the life-threatening serotonin syndrome, can occur rarely.
A Mission for Michael’s resource also notes that individuals who are pregnant or nursing, have pre-existing blood disorders, or are prone to seizures should avoid taking Celexa. Alternatives for anxiety include Lexapro (escitalopram), Zoloft (sertraline), Buspar (buspirone), and Paxil (paroxetine).
Like most SSRIs, Celexa takes an average of four to six weeks to be fully effective, but the actual duration is dependent on starting dosage, any medications that the user has had to transition from, and any physiological traits that may affect metabolization. Individuals who are uncertain whether the drug is right for them are encouraged to contact their primary healthcare provider for guidance.
