Celexa can help people who suffer from the serious condition of depression. The drug is one that affects the balance of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is one of brain chemicals in the brain that affects mood. Celexa is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. This means that it keeps the serotonin active in the brain, working to decrease depression. The generic is Citalopram. If you are in need of an antidepressant, buy Celexa online from a Canadian pharmacy. These Canadian pharmacies allow you to order your medications online from the convenience of your own home and have it delivered right to your door step. Also this medication is up to 80% cheaper than the US just by buying online from Canada.
Celexa can be used for a variety of other disorders besides depression as well. It is now being used for women who have premenstrual dysphoric disorder, people who suffer from panic disorder, eating disorders and social phobia. Celexa is also used in the treatment of alcoholism.
One should talk to the doctor if one is taking an MAOI antidepressant. That particular type of drugs cannot be taken with many foods and other drugs, including Celexa. Bring up any allergies, especially to Citalopram or esCitalopram. Someone who is currently taking esCitalopram should not also take Citalopram. The two are very similar, but must not be used together.
When going in to an appointment to discuss antidepressants such as Celexa, one should divulge all the antidepressants one is already taking. Mention all other medications, both non-prescription and prescription, as well as vitamins, minerals, and herbals. It is always important to tell if one is taking a blood thinner such as warfarin. Medical information to talk about when discussing the possible use of Celexa is whether one has had seizures in the past, and whether one has had heart, liver, or kidney disease. The doctor will need to know about pregnancy or the possibility of pregnancy.
If the doctor does prescribe Celexa, he may start with a very small dose and work up slowly until he reaches the dose he believes will help the most. Citalopram should not be stopped suddenly, so if one chooses to quit taking the medication, one should see the doctor and discuss how to come off of it. Sudden withdrawal symptoms from Celexa include anxiety, irritability, agitation, confusion, mood changes, dizziness or insomnia.
There are many side effects of Celexa which may appear, especially during the beginning and step-up phases of taking it. Look for gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Dry mouth is also very common when taking Citalopram. One might experience symptoms such as nervousness, shaking, drowsiness, excitement or tiredness. Loss of sex drive can sometimes be a side effect.
If one experiences hallucinations, either of hearing or vision, it is important to seek medical help right away. Seizures are another reason to get help immediately. If one gets severe muscle stiffness, fast and irregular heartbeat, sweating, confusion, or fever with Celexa use, seek help.
Online Canadian pharmacies not only offer Celexa, they also sell US and Canada prescription drugs, over the counter medications and many other health care products, all for an affordable price.
