What Citalopram is

Citalopram is an SSRI antidepressant. It raises serotonin, a brain chemical that helps steady mood.

What it’s for

Depression. It’s also used for anxiety and panic.

How it’s taken

One pill a day, with or without food. It often takes 2 to 6 weeks to feel the full effect.

Good to know

Antidepressants carry a boxed warning: in children and adults under 25 they can raise suicidal thoughts, most often in the first weeks or after a dose change. If thoughts of suicide or self-harm come up, call or text 988 right away, or call 911 if someone is in danger now. Don’t stop it on your own; the prescriber can plan a slow taper. At higher doses it can change the heart’s rhythm, so the dose is capped, and it is used with care in older adults and with other drugs that affect heart rhythm. Taking it with other drugs that raise serotonin (such as triptans, tramadol or St. John’s wort) can cause serotonin syndrome: call 911 for high fever, stiff muscles, confusion or a racing heart.
