new antidepressant called Celexa (citalopram)
September 1998
You'll start hearing about a new antidepressant called Celexa (citalopram). It's been used a lot in Europe.
It's another SSRI...similar to Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil.
Think of Celexa as a "me-too" in effectiveness...a "me-too" in side effects (nausea, sleepiness, sexual dysfunction)...but Celexa has fewer drug interactions to worry about.
