Citalopram: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

Citalopram Hydrobromide is a prescription SSRI antidepressant used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. It works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain to improve mood, reduce sadness and fatigue, and relieve anxiety. Celexa may also be prescribed off-label for anxiety or panic disorders. Symptom improvement can take several weeks, and consistent use as prescribed is essential.
