My 93 yr. old mother has severe dementia. Her nurse practioner prescribed Citalopram HBR 10 mg tablet. She did not inform me and the assisted living caregivers administered the tablet with her other drug, (lisinopril, 20mg) and her daily vitamins, contained in the packet that is prepared by the pharmacy for her. Within a few weeks Mother lost interest in eating, speaking and walking with a walker. When I saw her she was like a zombie.....no expression in her face or eyes and no response when we spoke to her. Last week we moved her to a skilled nursing facility, and she has been participating in activities, eating most of her meals and smiles when spoken to, asking questions, etc. I just discovered the citalopram HBR when I read her drug summary from her insurance company, for last month. Is it common for this drug to be used for dementia patients? The only anxiety she showed was indecision about what utensil to eat with, or what clothes to put on. Any thoughts?

No, it has not been approved for use to treat them, however, there are many doctors that do prescribe it for such.
