If you read wikipedia, you will find that s-Citalopram is an uncommon name for the reformulated version of Citalopram which is currently marketed as Lexapro. I am not a medical professional, but if I understand correctly, Celexa (Citalopram Hbr) has two forms of a base compound in 50/50 proportions, only one of which helps with depression. But Lexapro/s-Citalopram/escitalopram has 100% of the effective form of the compund. Thus (my non-professional conclusion from things I have read), you will generally see dosages of Lexapro are half of equivalent doses of Celexa. Take this all with a grain of salt, but read wikipedia yourself and it might help you understand.

There is no difference, other than in how that particular pharmacy or manufacturer is describing their medication. They are the same thing and treat the same things.

Citalopram is a generic for Celexa, this is an antidepressant.

Common side effects may include: nausea, headache, dizziness and dry mouth.

I wants to know what is the difference between s-citalopram and citalopramhbr? I have been taking nexito-20mg for last 7years.But I am not 100% satisfied with the results.Hence I wants to know if I will shift to citalopram-hbr will it be more helpful for me?because Citalopram-gbr has doubled of s-citalopram as far as highest dose is concerned.i.e-up to 40mg.
