TREATMENT DATABASE

Celexa (citalopram) is an antidepressant which is sometimes prescribed for POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), patients with syncope (fainting), NMH (neurally mediated hypotension), and related disorders. 

USES IN ME/CFS: It is not as frequently prescribed for ME/CFS as other antidepressants, due to numerous side effects. Some patients report a lessening of symptoms, particularly those associated with PMS. Others report severe migraines, nose bleeds, insomnia, nightmares, and confusion. Sexual dysfunction is a common side effect. Patients should start at a very low dose.
