citalopram

Seropram is an antidepressant drug used to treat depression associated with mood disorders. Seropram is in a class of antidepressants (mood elevators) called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

It works by increasing the amount of a certain natural substance in the brain. This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Seropram is primarily used to treat the symptoms of depression but can also be prescribed for social anxiety disorder, panic disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Also prescribed in Huntington's disease and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. It is also used on occasion in the treatment of body dysmorphic disorder and anxiety. Seropram has been found to significantly reduce the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy and premature ejaculation. There is also evidence that citalopram may be effective in the treatment of post-stroke pathological crying.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can take 4 to 8 weeks to start working, although they may be effective much sooner. They should not be taken within 2 weeks of stopping MAOIs, or with some other medicines or with alcohol which may reduce their effectiveness and increase their toxicity. SSRIs can be safer than tricyclics because they are not life threatening if taken in large quantities. They are also safer for older adults because the side effects are more tolerable.

When treating a pregnant woman with citalopram during the third trimester, the physician should carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of treatment. Drug interactions caution should be used when it is taken in combination with other centrally acting drugs.

All patients being treated with antidepressants for any indication should be observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, and unusual changes in behavior, especially during the initial few months of a course of drug therapy, or at times of dose changes, either increases or decreases.

Never suddenly stop taking SSRIs (or any other antidepressant). Their use should be tapered off slowly and only under the supervision of a doctor. Abruptly stopping SSRIs can cause negative side effects or a relapse into another depressive episode.
