    Can it help people with severe depression who also have severe fatigue. I’m basically bedridden from depression. But SRNIs and Wellbutrin make anxiety severe

    Citalopram has been working wonders for my anxiety disorder, but I do notice many unpleasant side effects in the last 2 years taking it. Arrythmia/palpitations, chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, and DEFINITELY a harder time reaching climax during sexytime with my wife. Honestly, if my anxiety wasnt this bad without medication, I'd rather get psychotherapy than taking Citalopram. It's not a pleasant drug to take. You need to be aware of that. Yes it will help your anxiety/depression, but it will likely make you miserable on other aspects. If you can manage your disorder without medication, consider NOT taking citalopram.

      Thanks bro for this explanation
      I also tried antidepressants in the past they work pretty well anxiety
      My anxiety and panic attacks came back for a year now it sucks
      I’m also on Hydromorphone for chronic pain 3 times a day
      I was prescribed CITALOPRAM for a month now but I haven’t used it in fear for my libido and those side effects you named
      Don’t know what to do but I know I have to quit opiods eventually
      I’m typing this and having sort of a panic attack / anxiety
      I’m getting by with lorazepam

      @@dondadda1 ​ You can manage the side effects of citalopram. Take an after-lunch nap for fatigue, dont jerk off between sex-days to keep you "on the edge". It's still better than the constant pain of anxiety and panic attacks. You look like a case where you cant afford not to take the med.

    Can you split the 10 mg pill in half and take 5 mg at the start then after a couple of weeks increase to a full pill? The 10mg after 3 days gave me very strong side effects and my pupils diluted abit so i stopped taking them as i got a bit scared. Thanks in advance

      I'm coming off them and I split pills without any problems, you can do it either way, starting them or coming off.
      Good luck.

      I could not say without evaluating you specifically, but Celexa can help some individuals with depression (and I've had very positive effects in some patients) and often when someone is depressed their sleep becomes problematic (so, sleep often improves when someone takes this medication and it helps with their depression or anxiety). Some individuals should avoid this medication, and that's why an evaluation is important, and I recommend you speaking directly with your provider about you specific difficulties and medical history. Thank you for watching, and I do hope that you get the help that you need. - Dr. Pagnani

      One of the biggest side effects of ssris is their negative effect on sex drive . They work great for anxiety but pretty much made me asexual which kind of defeats the point lol

    Is this best taken at night or morning?

    • @RittenhousePsych
      @RittenhousePsych  Рік тому +2

      Thank you for your question. Some patients do best taking it in the morning, and others at night. For example, if it causes tiredness or an upset stomach for a patient, I may recommend that they take it at night, so they sleep through those side effects. Sometimes I'll change the timing of when a patient takes it, due to sexual side effects as well (recommending that patients take it at night, after any activity, instead of during the day). For patients who have insomnia, increased energy or vivid dreams when they take it, they may do better taking it in the day. I couldn't know what's best for someone without an evaluation, but if you're having any side effects or have questions about this, I'd certainly recommend you speaking directly to your provider about the above. Thanks again, - Dr. Pagnani
