The Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning to users of Celexa® (citalopram) with respect to its use in treating anxiety and other mental disorders.
Citalopram is a drug used to treat depression and anxiety.
The FDA has identified a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which inhibit the reuptake of serotonin in the brain. SSRIs are generally given in the dose and schedule that is commonly prescribed to patients suffering from depression, anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Citalopram is approved by the FDA for the treatment of major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.
It may also be used for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It should be noted that the FDA has not approved the use of Celexa in the treatment of patients with depression and anxiety disorders.
Citalopram is not indicated for the treatment of patients with bipolar disorder.
The drug may also be used for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders.
Citalopram may also be used for the treatment of depression.
It is not known if Citalopram is contraindicated in patients taking other medications that are known to cause or contribute to depression and anxiety.
It is not known whether Citalopram is safe and effective for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders.
It is not known if Celexa is contraindicated in patients taking other medications that are known to cause or contribute to depression and anxiety.
A major study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry suggests that the medication is effective in preventing premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The authors of the study, J. A. R., of University of California Davis Medical Center in San Diego, and R. G. A., of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, evaluated the efficacy of the drug for premenstrual dysphoric disorder in women and men. The women were treated with a combination of Celexa and Celexa. All the patients had severe premenstrual symptoms, but the group receiving Celexa had a greater improvement in premenstrual symptoms compared to the group receiving the combination. The women also showed a greater reduction in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood disturbances than the group receiving the combination. The researchers concluded that the Celexa combination is effective in preventing premenstrual symptoms.
The study included 796 premenstrual dysphoric women and 962 women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder. They were randomized to receive Celexa, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) for premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and placebo. They were followed monthly for the first 12 weeks of treatment. The women had a mean baseline depression score of 7.5, mean premenstrual symptoms score of 14.1, and mean premenstrual symptoms score of 12.4. The women showed significantly greater improvement in depression, anxiety, and mood symptoms than the women who received the SSRI placebo. The women were also significantly less depressed than the women who received the placebo. The findings suggest that SSRIs for premenstrual dysphoric disorder are effective and have a lower risk of adverse events than placebo. However, the SSRIs for premenstrual dysphoric disorder should be considered carefully in patients with moderate to severe premenstrual symptoms.
The researchers conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The study was funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. The results of this study were presented in a poster presentation to the American Academy of Clinical Psychiatry, the American Psychiatric Association, and the American Psychiatric Association's Medical Association Congress in Chicago, June 15, 2006.
The use of antidepressants, including SSRIs, in the treatment of premenstrual dysphoric disorder has been studied for many years. In one randomized trial, the researchers found that patients taking antidepressants who were given Celexa had greater improvement in their premenstrual symptoms than those on placebo. The results were similar to those of another trial with more than 600 patients who were given SSRI antidepressants. In another study, the researchers found that women who were given Celexa had improved symptoms than women who received placebo. The researchers concluded that Celexa is effective for premenstrual dysphoric disorder. However, a clinical trial that compared the use of Celexa with Celexa alone was terminated because of its safety and efficacy.
The SSRIs used in premenstrual disorder treatment include the following drugs: Citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, and paroxetine. The SSRIs are also used to treat depression and panic disorder.
The drugs are the most commonly prescribed drugs in the United States. The study authors concluded that these drugs are effective in preventing premenstrual dysphoric disorder. They further stated that the drugs are safe and have a lower risk of adverse events than placebo. They concluded that the drugs are safe and have a lower risk of adverse events than the placebo.
A review of the efficacy of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressants for premenstrual dysphoric disorder and their role in treatment for depression has been published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. A team of researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago found that SSRI antidepressants, including Celexa, were effective in preventing premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The team also found that the drug did not significantly decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety. The team concluded that SSRIs are safe and have a lower risk of adverse events than placebo. The researchers concluded that Celexa is effective in preventing premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
A clinical trial of fluoxetine and paroxetine has also been published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. The researchers found that patients taking fluoxetine who were taking paroxetine had greater improvement in premenstrual symptoms than patients on placebo.
Celexa has been shown to cause some side effects. Talk to your health care provider if these reactions do not disappear within a few days or become severe.
Common side effects reported from Celexa use:
This is not a complete list of adverse reactions. If you experience difficulty breathing, unusual bleeding or bruising, chest pain, a skin rash, hives, fever, joint pain, muscle stiffness, swelling, seizures, hallucinations, hoarseness, or changes in your heart rate while taking Celexa, seek medical attention immediately.
Antidepressant drugs like Celexa increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behaviors, so patients taking Celexa should be monitored for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behaviors, or unusual changes in mood or behavior.
As with all prescription medications, inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been diagnosed with and any medications or supplements you currently take before starting treatment with Celexa. Celexa can interact with other medicines and substances, causing potentially serious side effects. Before beginning treatment with Celexa, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or are planning on becoming pregnant.

This adverse reaction is also reported in association with oral contraceptives, certain antidepressants, or laxatives. These drugs can decrease the absorption of celexa and can also cause drowsiness. To reduce the likelihood of adverse reactions, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved specific Celexa products containing lactose or other preservatives to help alleviate gastrointestinal effects. Checks are currently being conducted to ensure that certain Celexa products are suitable for patients taking specific diets, supplements, or medications. As with all prescription medications, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.AlcoholWhile Celexa is generally welltolerated, it can cause side effects, including:
