Things to remember. 1  People with diabetes have high blood glucose levels caused by a problem with the hormone insulin. 2  The two main types of diabetes are type 1 (insulin dependent) and type 2 (non-insulin dependent). 3  There is no cure, but symptoms can be controlled with diet, exercise and medication.
A study examining anxiety after a single dose of citalopram showed that citalopram increased existing anxiety but was not anxiogenic in people without anxiety at baseline. A short-term study of patients being treated for depression with an SSRI found a 15% incidence of increased anxiety during the initiation period.
Celexa (citalopram) is an antidepressant medication that may help treat anxiety disorders by adjusting the amount of the chemical serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood and feelings of well-being. People who are deficient in serotonin are at risk for depression and anxiety. Celexa belongs to a category of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). SSRIs are considered effective treatments for all anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, phobias (including social phobia) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
