Does Celexa (citalopram) help you?

I’ve been on Celexa 40 mg approximately a month. I slowly went from 5 mg and up. Also on Xanax for awhile. I’m 66 yrs old. I was on Celexa 20 mg for many years and in 2020 I got off of it. I’m having nausea. Not sure if it’s from the Celexa or anxiety or digestive problems. Also sweating, crawling out of my skin and shaky. I don’t know if dosage is too high or my age. Another person from a support group mentioned Cipralex. But I think it’s in the same group as Celexa. He didn’t have any problems with it when he was on it. But he was younger. Does anyone know of these 2 meds? Thank you.

@flow65 Celexa and Cipralex are part of the same category of antidepressant medications called SSRI, but they act differently. It is said that Cipralex works on more extreme cases. I have been on Celexa 10mg myself, and find that is enough for me.
My suggestion regarding your nausea, sweating, shaky symptoms is to first rule out anything that might be going on with you, by getting a good physical done. A review of your current conditions and medications by your medical team will help you out, then make the decisions about adding in anti-depressants. Perhaps also therapy, which can be very beneficial?
