Three of the Common Reactions To Citalopram Hydrobromide

January 1, 2011 | Posted by Nhoj Navillus

Many different side effects to the antidepressant drug Citalopram Hydrobromide have been reported by it;s many users. The drug is most commonly used for the treating of depression among other things. Many people refer to it as Celexa. Most drugs available today have side effects, some are more severe than others, and some people never experience them. During this article I would like to talk about three of the most common side effects. I will talk about trouble sleeping, loss of appetite as well as dry mouth. All three of these side effects have been known to be experienced at the same time.

The first of the side effects that I would like to talk about is the dry mouth. This is definitely one of the less severe side effects. Having a dry mouth may be some what irritating, feeling like you are just parched, however it has been found that it is one of the more manageable side effects. Some people have found that if they just stick to brushing their teeth three times a day, drinking the recommended amount of water per day and also chewing gum in between has dramatically reduced the dry mouth symptoms.

Loss of appetite is another common side effect to Citalopram Hydrobromide, it can really reduce the feeling of hunger and make a person not feel like eating very much at all. A lot of the users experience this side effect and find that it is really annoying and can really throw off your eating schedule if you’re not careful. Be sure to notify your physician or other health care professional if you are unable to eat or feel that you are not eating enough every day. Remember to always eat enough and maintain a healthy diet.

Last, but not least we have the side effect that keeps us up all night, trouble sleeping. This is the feeling when you lay down to go to sleep, and you may even be tired, but you just can’t fall asleep. I have heard of a few different ideas on how to help you fall asleep. The first one is stay active during the day and by the end of the day hopefully you will be all “tuckered out” and ready to fall asleep, and the second is close your eyes, lay comfortably in bed, take nice deep slow breaths and imagine sheep jumping over a fence, counting as they go by.

Remember, just because some people have experienced side effects to a certain drug, it doesn’t mean that you will. Almost every drug on the market has some type of side effect, but not all of it’s users will experience them. In addition to not all people being affected by the side effects of Citalopram Hydrobromide, different people are affected in different ways. If you are having a hard time dealing with your side effects or if you think you are experiencing an allergic reaction please contact your doctor immediately to find out what the best action to take will be. If you feel that you are having an abnormally “bad” reaction to the drug seek medical attention right away.
