Hello) I did not try Citalopram but I know
that it not only treats depression but
also may treat eating disorders,
alcoholism, panic disorder, premenstrual
dysphoric disorder, and even social
phobia. It is very good med as far as my
familiar doctor sais but you should be
sure that it is of High Quality and not a
fake)) I do not remember producer exactly
but I know that my friend ordered it
online and it corresponded to all
necessary requirements
(http://www.pharmaenergy.com/Citalopram-c-
406.html) you may try it too. by the way I
know that ZOLOFT is good as well))hope to
be useful to you))

[hi,

attaks since i was 14 which have now
spiralled out of controll and into a
severe panic disorder, after keeping them
under controll as best i could for years i
got pregnant and gave birth with no
complications, but from the day i gave
birth i became much worse to the point
where i didnt even no i was having an
attack i was given citalopram along with
diazapam to help me they did work but i
stopped the citalopram coz im scared of
meds im not used to and had been on
diazapam before was i wrong to stop them?

I took Citalopram for about a year in
conjunction with BuSpar (buspirone), and
Xanax -- as needed, for treatment of
Anxiety and Panic Disorder and related
issues. I was able to remove the
Citalopram from my treatment and only take
BuSpar for the remainig Panic Disorder (I
will always carry around some Xanax as my
little security blanket though I very
rarely have to use it). I experienced
sexual side effects (decrease in libido)
while taking Citalopram but found that
Ginko Biloba helped in reducing the sexual
side effects. Otherwise my experience
with the medication was positive.
The most effective parts of my therapy to
date have been cognitive therapy and
learning/employing relaxation techniques.
I strongly urge you to only start and stop
medications with the support of your
doctor. Some of my worst periods have
been when I stopped medications without
consulting my doctor and often developed
other problems as a result.
