I found half of a small white oval pill and can only see a 7 as far as imprints. I found the left half. Found in childs room...SO??? Any ideas??? Thx!!! ## Hello, Based on the description provided, the closest match I can find is Citalopram Hydrobromide (40mg); which is used in the treatment of anxiety and stress, depression, postpartum depression, vulvodynia, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (and more). It belongs to the drug class: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. This pill is white oval/capsule shape with the Letter A on the back and a 0 7 on the front. There is a thin football shaped score in between the numbers.

round peach RDY 353 and scored on other side ## I can't find a listing for RDY 353, is possibly 343? If so, then the tablet contains 40mgs of Citalopram, a generic for Celexa, an antidepressant. It is described as a round, pinkish colored tablet, with RDY on one side and 343 on the opposite. Please let me know if this could be the right pill. ## Dextroamphetamine 10 mg. Manufacturer is Barr

I was on Citalopram and I was feeling very sick whilst taking these, my doc changed me over to cymgen last week Thursday and I am feeling a whole lot better but he did prescribe 20 Azor 0.5 tabs to take in the morning at the same time he prescribed the Cymgen, is it the Cymgen that is making me feel better or the Azor as it was a living hell taking the Citalopram ## Are you sure you're taking Azor? Because it's listed as containing Amlodipine and Olmesartan, both of which are used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. Learn more Azor details here. That said, it's difficult to say which is making you feel better, it may be a combination of everything. Learn more Cymgen details here.

I am taking citalopram HBR 10 mg and am experiencing swelling of my legs and arms. Is this a possible side effect? ## Hi eileen, I can't find any information that claims "swelling of the arms and legs" to be a side effect. However, I did read that allergic reactions to this medication can cause swelling of the face, tongue, eyes or mouth. Everyone reacts differently to prescription medication so it's possible that the problems you are experiencing could be the result of this drug. Nonetheless, do not stop taking Citalopram HBR without first talking to your healthcare provider. I hope this helps!

Hi I am 23 years old and married. I am on Cilift and urbanol for 1 year and 3months. Before I started using these meds, I weighed 60kilos. After 1year I am 83kg and have no sex drive and I am depro because of my wieght. I gym 3times a week and cycle 40-60kilos a weekend. Please Help! I have been on every diet you can name and I only lose 3-4kilos and gain them again. I really don't know what to to. ## The culprit might be the Cilift, since it contains Citalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant and they are well known to cause weight gain in some people that take them. Learn more Cilift details here. And, if it is what's causing the weight gain, then it isn't likely to change, until you stop taking it. Have you considered seeing if there's a different medication you can ...

Beige oblong tablet, scored, 9 and 0 on the scored side and A on the reverse. Told it was citalopram 20mg but doesn't look like the usual tablet. ## The marking is actually A 06 and the tablet does contain 20mgs of Citalopram, the active ingredient in Celexa, which is an SSRI antidepressant. Learn more Citalopram details here. Since it is a generic, that means it is manufactured by several different companies and according to law, each tablet has to have unique markings to enable its identification and there are no guidelines on how they have to look. Is there anything else I can help with?

take 1 tablet by mouth once daily for nerves ## What is this as my wife has been given the medication? ## This is an antidepressant, commonly sold under the brand name Celexa. It is also used to treat anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder and several other conditions. Some of the most common side effects include dry mouth, fatigue and dizziness. ## My doctor gives me the Celexa 20mg for depression and the 0.5mg Xanax for my nerves. I am also on Ambien and Suboxone. I take all that in a day and have been for years. If the Celexa was for anxiety then why would my doctor give me the Xanax? ## Is dizziness 1 of the main side effects if celexa use is abruptly stopped? ## Celexa should not be stopped suddenly. You should come off it just like you went on it; by lowe...

I work for the Federal Goverment and am being told that we will be subject now for urine test that will be looking for prescription drug use. I need to inform them of my prescribed drugs. I have never told them of my 20 Mg of Citalopram I take due to possible job loss for taking the drug. Will it show up on a pee test? ## Why would you lose your job for taking Citalopram? It is an SSRI antidepressant and is not a controlled substance of any type. Learn more Citalopram details here. You should let them know about it, in the event that it may have an effect on the test results, since some drugs can cause false positives, but this medication itself is not something that is tested for on any standard drug tests.

Citalopram hbr 10 mg was prescribed to me because of stress and to help me sleep. Is that what this drug is for? Help ! Thanks Bob ## Citalopram is an SSRi antidepressant, it may cause some drowsiness as a side effect and, as to the stress, it does help some people with some anxiety and similar issues. Basically, your doctor is allowed to prescribe a medication according to their knowledge and experience of what they've found it will help with. Learn more Citalopram details here. When they do that, it's called off-label use and, in such cases, the best thing you can do is to try it and see if it helps you. If it doesn't, then let your doctor know. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yes you sound the same as me. I have been taking 10mg for 3.5 weeks now and feel great...

Hi I am wondering if others who are on the maximum dosage of 40mg still experience on-going depression for a few hours afterwards. I take my meds in the morning but it takes several hours for me to feel ok. I have small fibre neuropathy of the autonomic nervous system and have been on citalopram for 3 1/2 years. Recently I ave put on weight. I haven't always felt this on-going depression. It seems to be getting worse. Has anyone had ths experience when after a reasonable time on the drug it seems not to be working as effectively? ## Hi Chris, The reason why the medication seems to be not working as effectively over time, is generally due to the tolerance or physical addiction of the drug itself. As for Citalopram, it's not addictive, but you can build up a physical tolerance - m...

I have been on 20mg for several weeks and it's the 'pitts' that I am having a difficult time reaching orgasm. I am able to get aroused easily, but unable to have a great orgasm like I used to . . . even when masturbating. I so much looked forward to that 'moment'! ## I believe every man looks forward to that moment. Have you consulted your doctor, yet? Citalopram is an SSRI antidepressant and they are well known to cause various sexual difficulties as side effects. If you are experiencing them after just a few weeks, you can either talk to your doctor about trying a different medication, or you can give it a few more weeks to see if the side effect eases up. Side effects usually hit their peak at around 4 weeks of use, then they start to taper off. ## I've been t...

Can cylift and drinking alcohol make you agressive? ## Cilift contains the active ingredient Citalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant and it's possible for it to cause aggression and irritability in some people and, of course, adding alcohol to the mix may only worsen such an effect.

My husband is taking half an oropram 20mg in mornings however he is completely dazed and not functioning at all. Is this reaction expected ? ## Oropram contains the active ingredient Citalopram, it is an SSRI class antidepressant and no, that is not normal. In relation to the normal side effects, they can include: drowsiness, nausea, weight gain and dizziness. However, being fully dazed and non-functional is not normal and his doctor should be contacted, this is probably not the correct medication to help him.
