Other medical problems:—The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of citalopram. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems.
Breast-feeding:—Citalopram passes into breast milk and may cause unwanted effects, such as drowsiness, decreased feeding, and weight loss in the breast-fed baby. It may be necessary for you to take another medicine or to stop breast-feeding during treatment. Be sure you have discussed the risks and benefits of the medicine with your doctor.
Pregnancy:—Studies have not been done in pregnant women. However, studies in animals have shown that citalopram may cause decreased survival rates and slowed growth in offspring when given to the mother in doses many times higher than the usual human dose. Before taking this medicine, make sure your doctor knows if you are pregnant or if you may become pregnant.
Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages while you are taking citalopram.
This medicine may cause some people to become drowsy, to have trouble thinking, or to have problems with movement. Make sure you know how you react to citalopram before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not alert or well-coordinated.
Possible Withdrawal Symptoms!
- Dizziness, which can be quite extreme at times.
- Shocks, called the 'zaps'; usually starting in the mouth or head, and extending out through the body.
- Sensory sensitivity, especially sounds. Any noise can become a painful experience. Also, being under florescent lights can create discomfort. Touch, motion and even smell can be painful.
- Nausea, very common with Celexa withdrawal.
- Confusion, memory problems, and difficulty with concentration.
- Severe insomnia and/or nightmares.
- Extreme mood swings, such as intense grief and intense anger. Plan for this in advance!
- Suicidal thoughts.
- Headaches, sometimes quite severe.
- Reduced motor skills, such as difficulty walking or talking.
- Reduced or no appetite.
- Intense fear of losing your sanity.
- Depersonalization, where nothing seems real; it's like you are outside your body.
- Panic attacks, even if you've never had them before.
- Hallucinations.
While these are the more common withdrawal symptoms, you can have other ones as well. Remember, you are unique, just like everybody else!
