What is Celexa?Celexa is an antidepressant that is used to treat major depressive disorder and other depression related complications. It is an approved medication for these conditions. Unlike other antidepressants, Celexa works by affecting the levels of certain brain chemicals, including serotonin, dopamine, and dopamine derivatives.

Before beginning treatment with Celexa, inform your healthcare provider of any medical condition you are currently taking to ensure it is safe for you. This includes any tablet or capsule form, as mentioned above.
Serotonin syndrome is a severe medical emergency that occurs when your body produces too much of a derivative of serotonin, resulting in symptoms such as muscle weakness, blurred vision, heart palpitations, and sweating. This is a rare reaction, but it is possible to develop this condition when serotonin is not sufficiently blocked.
If you experience symptoms of serotonin syndrome, you and your healthcare provider may adjust your dose or switch to another antidepressant until symptoms resolve. Serotonin syndrome is more severe in adolescents and adults who have serotonin-related symptoms, so you and your healthcare provider may need to modify your medication.
The most common side effects of Celexa include drowsiness, weight gain, increased thirst, increased hunger, increased appetite, and dry mouth. Monitoring my child's development is recommended during treatment with Celexa to ensure that side effects do not persist or become severe. If side effects become bothersome, the healthcare provider may monitor treatment progress at a rate of one tablet per hour every 4 to 6 hours as prescribed.

In the case of Celexa, please inform the prescribing doctor immediately if you experience symptoms of serotonin syndrome. The development, occurrence, or worsening of serotonin syndrome may necessitate immediate medical treatment.

Well, it sounds like you’ve seen a lot of buzz and the buzz has been building around the subject for quite some time now. Let’s talk about it more. And for the record, you’re probably aware of this drug called Celexa, which is a generic version of Citalopram.
First, let’s talk about a medication that’s not FDA-approved for treating anxiety. But how is it approved to treat anxiety?
Well, there are two FDA-approved medications for treating anxiety:
Celexa is a generic version of Zoloft. It was developed to treat anxiety by helping to reduce feelings of anxiety, such as fear, which can cause a person to become more anxious.
Celexa was approved by the FDA in 2003. Zoloft is a prescription medication that was originally approved for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults. In 2014, the FDA approved Celexa for treating generalized anxiety disorder. The only difference between these two drugs is that they both work in the same way.
Celexa and Zoloft are two different medications that are used to treat anxiety, and they work in different ways. They both affect the brain’s neurotransmitters, which are chemicals in the body that are thought to regulate anxiety.
Celexa, called citalopram, was approved by the FDA in 2003. Zoloft was also approved to treat depression by treating it as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). Zoloft is available over-the-counter in the form of tablets and a pill.
A common generic version of citalopram is Celexa, which is a brand name for Celexa. Citalopram is available in generic versions and is sometimes called a “generic version.”
Celexa has two active ingredients:
Celexa also contains a non-selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) called fluoxetine HCl. When taken at the same time, fluoxetine HCl increases the levels of serotonin in the brain. This increased levels of serotonin can help to reduce feelings of fear and make people more anxious.
While Celexa is not FDA-approved for treating anxiety, it is approved for treating other conditions, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
If you have anxiety and it’s difficult to do anything right now, it can be challenging to get help. But, it’s important to address it in the right ways, and there are medications and treatments available to help manage it.
Here are some of the top anxiety medications available to treat.
Celexa is also available in capsule form. It’s a liquid solution that is taken by mouth. It comes in a 1 mL or 5 mL bottle.
Like other medications, Celexa and Zoloft can cause side effects.
Background:Antidepressants are widely prescribed for mood disorders, including depression. Despite their effectiveness, many physicians still rely on antidepressants to treat these disorders.
Objectives:This study aims to compare the effectiveness of three antidepressants in the treatment of bipolar disorder (BPD) and depression. In a single-blind, placebo-controlled, 12-week, crossover study, the primary objective was to determine the effects of antidepressants on the levels of catecholamines, monoamine oxidase (MAO), and free serotonin, in patients with BPD and depression. Secondary objectives included the assessment of depression, mood stability, and sexual function, and adverse events.
Methods:In this 12-week, double-blind, crossover, crossover study, 150 patients with BPD and depression were randomized to receive two different antidepressants (Celexa, Lexapro, or Paxil) or placebo for 4 weeks. The primary outcome measure was change in sexual function (sex drive) and the change in depressive symptoms (depression, depression, and sexual dysfunction) from baseline to week 12 in patients with BPD and depression.
Results:In a subgroup of patients with BPD, the mean daily dose of Celexa, Lexapro, and Paxil was significantly higher than the placebo (7.1 ± 3.2 mg/day for Celexa, 8.1 ± 3.0 mg/day for Lexapro and 12.7 ± 2.8 mg/day for placebo). The difference in sexual function was not significant between the two antidepressants. The mean change in depressive symptoms from baseline to week 12 was 2.4 ± 1.3, and the mean change in depressive symptoms from baseline to week 12 was 2.8 ± 1.2. The mean change in sexual function was significantly greater in patients with depression compared with patients with BPD (2.3 ± 1.3) at week 12 compared with the change in sex drive (1.6 ± 0.6) and the change in depressive symptoms (1.6 ± 0.6) at baseline (P =.03).
Conclusions:Celexa, Lexapro, and Paxil were equally effective in treating depression and sexual function.
Antidepressant Effectiveness in Bipolar DisorderTable 1:Effect of antidepressants on depressive symptoms in bipolar patientsPatients with bipolar disorder (n = 931) and depression (n = 946) were randomized to receive either placebo or Celexa for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of treatment, the mean daily dose of Celexa, Lexapro, or Paxil was significantly lower than the placebo (2.5 ± 0.5 mg/day for Celexa, 9.2 ± 2.6 mg/day for Lexapro, and 13.1 ± 3.6 mg/day for placebo). At week 12, the difference in sexual function was not significant.
Table 2:Effect of antidepressants on sexual function in bipolar patientsPatients with bipolar disorder (n = 793) and depression (n = 846) were randomized to receive either placebo or Celexa for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of treatment, the mean daily dose of Celexa, Lexapro, or Paxil was significantly lower than the placebo (3.6 ± 0.4 mg/day for Celexa, 8.2 ± 1.9 mg/day for Lexapro, and 10.8 ± 2.2 mg/day for placebo).
Table 3:Patients with bipolar disorder (n = 991) and depression (n = 845) were randomized to receive either placebo or Celexa for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of treatment, the difference in sexual function was not significant.
