Why is Cipramil (Celexa, Citalopram) prescribed?
Cipramil (Celexa, Citalopram) is used to treat major depression--a stubbornly low mood that
persists nearly every day for at least 2 weeks and interferes with
everyday living. Symptoms may include loss of interest in your usual
activities, insomnia or excessive sleeping, a change in weight or appetite,
constant fidgeting or a slowdown in movement, fatigue, feelings of
worthlessness or guilt, difficulty thinking or concentrating, and repeated
thoughts of suicide.
Like the antidepressant medications Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft, Cipramil (Celexa, Citalopram)
is thought to work by boosting serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin,
one of the nervous system's primary chemical messengers, is known to
elevate mood.
