Benefits of Celexa
Citalopram or celexa is a popular drug used as a therapy for cases of depression, being a class ofÂ’ anti-stress relievers called SSRI (Selective serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) it works by amassing aÂ’ natural substance found in the brain.
1. Migraine treatment and antidepressants
Until recently, celexa has not yet been proven to help treat migraine, but recent studiesÂ’ show that SSRI and SRNI (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor), were useful withÂ’ regards to the prevention of migraine. They are also referred to as tricyclic antidepressants,Â’ which affect the brain chemicals known to cause depression: dopamine, norepinephrine and
serotonin.
2. Aids in weight loss
Recent studies suggest that some people actually shed a few pounds on celexa. Patients treatedÂ’ with SSRI experienced a change in weight loss as opposed to placebo patients who had noÂ’ change. Nonetheless, some patients claim that celexa seems to cause increased appetite.
3. Pain relief
Fibomyalgia is a common condition that causes unexplained exhaustion. Doctors are nowÂ’ starting to prescribe drugs like celexa, to help reduce pain resulting from this condition.Â’ According to recent studies, women are likely to have this condition as opposed to men;Â’ however, gender and family history might play a role. It is recommended that you consult aÂ’ doctor if you consider using SSRL for pain relief.
4. Reduces joint pain
Celexa is an effective anti-depressant medication that might be prescribed to help treat jointÂ’ problems that occur as a result of depression. On the other hand, it might also be ideal inÂ’ treating joint problems in patients who are not suffering from depression.
5. Help with anxiety
Celexa is primarily used to help treat specific anxiety conditions such as social anxiety disordersÂ’ and panic disorder. It is effective in treating the symptoms of both anxiety and depression.
The common side effects of celexa might include sexual dysfunction, nausea, drowsiness, dryÂ’ mouth and insomnia. In addition, it causes less severe effects like muscle rashes, congestion,Â’ sleep difficulties and indigestion.
