Celexa® is a prescription medication that is used to treat depression. It comes in tablet form and liquid form, and is usually taken once a day. The medicine works by balancing the levels of serotonin in the brain to improve depression symptoms in adults and to reduce the chances of a relapse.
 
The medication must be taken as prescribed in order to work properly. As with all medicines, there are potential side effects with Celexa. Some of the most common ones include nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth, and insomnia. Before starting treatment with this medication, let your healthcare provider know if you have any other medical conditions, such as epilepsy, bipolar disorder, or a history of suicide attempts.
