Citalopram is a black triangle drug.

The black triangle reminds health professionals and consumers to report suspected adverse events related to new medicines, or those being used in new ways.

Products included in the scheme feature the black triangle symbol and accompanying text on: Product Information (PI) documents.

The rules for taking citalopram are you will most often take citalopram once per day and you can take citalopram any time of the day although it's best to take the citalopram medication the same time every day.

You can also take citalopram with or without food and if you have any trouble sleeping then it's best to take citalopram in the morning.

Citalopram is a depression medication and antidepressant that is in a class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

The antidepressant citalopram works to treat depression by increasing the amount of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain that helps maintain mental balance.

The medication citalopram is a strong antidepressant and is much more powerful than most other antidepressants are except for escitalopram for acute phase depression.

The escitalopram for acute phase depression is more powerful and stronger than citalopram.

Citalopram  is not the same as Xanax although they are similar and used to treat anxiety however Xanax is also used to treat panic attacks and both citalopram and Xanax belong to different classes of drugs so they are not the same.

The Xanax inhibits the brains neural activity which slows a person down and calms them.

The way that Xanax works in your brain is by inhibiting the brains neural activity which slows a person down and calms them.

When your brains neural activity is higher and working too fast then you're not as calm but when you get that brains neural activity slowed down then you're more calm, less anxious and your muscles are more relaxed.

The Xanax also works as a muscle relaxer as well.

The medication Xanax is a sedative but can also cause some other health issues with your brain so that means that Xanax is not for everyone.

Some people have reported that Xanax caused some memory loss or other brain damage but that is rare.

Xanax has been known to cause paranoid or suicidal ideation and impair memory, judgment, and coordination. Combining with other substances, particularly alcohol, can slow breathing and possibly lead to death.

Never take more Xanax without your doctors advise.
