What does celexa make you feel like?

Question

I have just been prescribed celexa and am leary about taking it.I have mild panic attacks and depression on occassion. Does it put you in a good mood or do you not feel any effects?

Answer 1

It really depends upon the person. I take it, and so does my mother, and it has no negative side effects for us. However, it could for you, and the only way to find out is to try. It may take your body a week or two to get used to the medicine, so give it time. But report any dramatic changes to your doctor immediately. When you are on a regular celexa schedule, and suddenly don't take it for a week or more, it can make you feel naseous, but otherwise, you should be fine.

Answer 2

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking citalopram?

You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to citalopram or escitalopram (Lexapro), if you also take pimozide, or if you are being treated with methylene blue injection.
Do not use citalopram if you have taken an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, and tranylcypromine.
To make sure citalopram is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
- a bleeding or blood clotting disorder;
- liver or kidney disease;
- narrow-angle glaucoma;
- seizures or epilepsy;
- heart disease, heart failure, a heart rhythm disorder, slow heartbeats, or recent history of heart attack;
- personal or family history of Long QT syndrome;
- an electrolyte imbalance (such as low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood);
- bipolar disorder (manic depression); or
- a history of drug abuse or suicidal thoughts.
Some young people have thoughts about suicide when first taking an antidepressant. Your doctor will need to check your progress at regular visits while you are using citalopram. Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms.
FDA pregnancy category C. Taking an SSRI antidepressant during pregnancy may cause serious lung problems in the baby. However, you may have a relapse of depression if you stop taking your antidepressant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant while taking citalopram. Do not start or stop taking this medicine during pregnancy without your doctor's advice.
Citalopram can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are using citalopram.
Do not give this medicine to anyone under 18 years old without medical advice. Citalopram is not approved for use in children.
