Overview
Citalopram is an SSRI antidepressant. During telehealth, we review symptoms, history, potential interactions, and safety (including suicidality monitoring), and we build a plan that may combine therapy, lifestyle changes, and medication when appropriate.
How our telehealth process works
- Book: Use our scheduling form or call +1 (800) 555‑1234.
- Intake: Share symptoms, timeline, goals, allergies, and current medicines.
- Video visit: Meet a Southwestern Medical Center doctor to confirm if treatment is appropriate.
- Clinical decision: If appropriate, your clinician issues an e‑prescription to our online pharmacy or your preferred local pharmacy.
- Fulfillment: Complete secure checkout and receive tracked delivery.
Why patients choose SWMC
- Evidence‑based care and clear eligibility criteria.
- Prescriptions only when medically indicated.

When clinicians consider Citalopram (Celexa)
- Considered for major depressive disorder under clinician guidance.
- May be discussed for anxiety symptoms in selected adults when appropriate.
- Part of a broader plan including therapy and follow‑up check‑ins.
Response tracking
Your clinician may use standardized scales and scheduled check‑ins to gauge benefit and tolerability.
Interactions
Tell your doctor about MAOIs, triptans, and other serotonergic agents to avoid serotonin syndrome risk.
Safety & interactions
- Antidepressants carry an FDA boxed warning about suicidal thoughts and behaviors in young people—close monitoring is essential.
- Potential for QT prolongation—medication list and cardiac history matter.
- Do not stop abruptly; tapering is clinician‑directed.
Use medicines exactly as directed. Never share prescription medication.
