See a doctor before starting any medication, including Citalopram. A proper diagnosis ensures you receive the correct treatment for your specific condition. Self-diagnosing and treating can be dangerous and ineffective.
Regular check-ups with your doctor are critical. They allow for adjustments to your dosage based on your response to the medication and the presence of any side effects.
Citalopram’s effects vary significantly between individuals. Your doctor will help you understand potential side effects and how to manage them. Early identification of problems minimizes risks.
