There are several different possible side effects when taking Citalopram. Some of these things include anxiety, chest pain, lightheadedness, bleeding and bruising, and thoughts of wanting to hurt yourself.
i was on both and i had no adverse side effects. however the seroquel can cause extreme drowsiness
Sure thing, just be aware of any side effects that were not there before. Watch out for serotonin syndrome.
I think so. I am sure I have in my last surgery.
Combining citalopram with marijuana can increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and impaired cognitive function. It may also worsen symptoms of anxiety or depression. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before combining these substances to mitigate potential risks.
The lightheaded side effect lasts about a week after stopping Citalopram.
I have been taking citalopram for a year now and last week I was prescribed prednisolone for a chest infection (I'm an asthmatic) and I haven't had any side effects whatoever. Drug interations.com says there are no interations between the two meds but to be on the safe side it's always best to check with your GP. http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/citalopram-with-prednisolone-1933-0-679-0.html
This depends. The two drugs are very similar in the way they work and which one is better will really depend on the sensitivity of the patient and the patient's pocket book. Lexapro (Escitalopram) was developed from the molecule Citalopram. The drug maker removed the part of the molecule that was believed to cause many of the adverse side effects of Citalopram. As a result, it is believed to be cleaner and much easier on the body. Lexapro, however, is much more expensive then Citalopram because the drug maker still has a patent on the drug. Citalopram is shown to have more side effects, however, many patients taking this drug tolerate this drug with very little to none. If you try this drug and experience no adverse side-effects, Citalopram is definitely better, because its cheaper. If it does cause adverse side-effects, it may very well be better to switch to Escitlopram even at a higher cost. In terms of their effectiveness on depression and anxiety, there is very little difference.
I am currently taking both of these medications together and other than being tired all the time I am fine
i have been on citalopram for eight years and have just started trying kalms sleep,i feel so much better and wish i had tried it sooner,i have no side effects but have been feeling better during the day,much calmer and able to cope
Lexapro is a cleaned up version of Citalopram (The molecules). Both of the drugs are SSRI. The Citalopram has more side effects and can not be as effective in solving depression. Additionally Lexpro has been found to help anxiety while the Citalopram has not been tested for it. The meds have different effects on different people. The Citalopram (name brand is called Celexa) is the generic brand.
