Cilift 20mg Tablet Side Effects

I have been using Cilift 20mg as well as Alzam for just over 2 years. I have Rheumatoid arthritis. Started taking anti depressants after my husband committed suicide over 2 years ago. I do not sleep well. I still feel down at times, I have terrible pain in my hips, knees and elbows. Seems both tablets do not work for me anymore. Does the Cilift and the Alzam not affect the balance of my hormones? Oh I'm 63 Years old. I want to wean myself from these two meds. What would be the best route to follow? When I talk to my GP she says 'take them, you need them to cope'. I refuse to take a sleeping pill. ## Hello, Mathilda! How are you doing? Has there been any change? It could be that you just need a dosage adjustment. No dosage of any given medication lasts forever, our bodies eve...

I have been prescribed Cilift 20mg by my doctor to treat my anxiety that i get. I get sweaty hand and feet, heart pulpotations, sometimes a pain in my chest. I cannot eat properly, i vomit if i try to. I have also been given Ativan 1mg to use to calm me down. Could someone please explain to me if Cilift will work for my anxiety, as i have hear of the natural product 5 HTP that works the same, but with no side effects. I am really confused and scared, please could someone advise? ## First off, everything carries the risk of causing side effects, even natural over the counter products. They can be just as potent and problematic as prescription drugs. That said....Cilift contains the active ingredient Citalopram, it is an antidepressant and it can also help with anxiety, but the only way t...

Usually my lips feel hot and then I know the next day that I will have problems - is it a side effect of this drug ## Dry lips is indeed one of many side effects when on cilift. Some gain weight, others lose, and it can also affect your fatigue. Consult your doctor on this issue and make use of good, quality lipcare. ## Does Cilift make big fat hard stomachs and does it make Gastric problems worse? ## Cilift is from satan it is ruining my marrage ## Every so often I am put on Cilift 20mg.

Hi my son (28) has been prescribed the following: Adco-Alzam 0.5, half a tabled morning and afternoon and a whole one in the evening PLUS Cilift 20mg 1 tablet per day PLUS Ativan 1mg under the tonque when necessary PLUS Dormicum 15mg 1 at night (only for one night) are all these tablets ok to use at the same time?? ## There can be some risks associated with any medications that you take, especially if you take them all at the same time, or close together. The biggest risks here are from the Alzam, Ativan and Dormicum, since they are all Benzodiazepines and may cause depression of the central nervous system. Learn more Alzam details here. Learn more Ativan details here. Learn more Dormicum details here. Learn more Cilift details here. So, he should be aware that he needs to watch for any...

Hi please advise I am currently using lozaan 50mg for hypretension. Was taking lexamil 5mg for 6 days but felt horrible. Had pain in the chest and sleepless nights but was tired the whole day.

Can I use cilift 20mg with the lozaan 5mg and what would the side effects be. Thank you

I am 47 yr old lady from cape town diagnosed 2007 with severe depression by DR CHris George. From 2011 I have been taking Alzam 0.5 three times a day plus Zolpiderm 20mg per night and cilift 3 times a day. Now I am very sick and the second opinion is telling me that the Alzam has been destroyed my intelligence. What musxt I do? ## Hello, From what I've read, Alzam (Alprazolam) does have various side effects that, in my opinion, could be somewhat debilitating to certain individuals over a long period of time. I don't know to what extent you feel this may have affected your intelligence, but it sounds like your best bet would probably be to talk with your doctor about tapering off and considering other alternative treatment options that may be safer for long term use. I believe th...

I am Bipolar and take 900mg Epilum in the morning as well as 900mg in the evening. I suffer from severe major depression which went through the roof after a teriible year of great losses. My GP has now put me on 20mg Cilift. Will this work? ## Sorry, I forgot to mention that I still take the Epilum and just added the Cilift 5 days ago, as I understoof that the Epilum helps with moodswingsn whilst the Cilift will help for the depression. ## Hello, Emispi! How are you? It is an effective medication for many people, but the only way to see if it will help you is by trying it. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi thanks for your comment and interest. Undfortuantel...

Perforated duodenal ulcer! Taken Bromazepam 3mg and Cilift 20mg for a few years!

Cilift contains the active ingredient Citalopram, it is an antidepressant. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and weight gain. Most medications can irritate the stomach, so what you can continue using will depend on the severity of your ulcer and the necessary treatments for it.

Hi i'm currently on Cilift 20mg and bromazapam. Is it safe to drink in moderation while using these drugs. I still get anxiety attacts, should it not have stopt now tha i am on these medication? ## Hello, Elsabe! How are you? How long have you been taking these medications? That could be a factor in why you're still having anxiety. It can take about 4 to 6 weeks, before they reach their full level of effectiveness in the body, so if it's been less than that, you may need to give it more time. If it's been longer, then you may need a dosage adjustment or to try different medications. The issues with alcohol are two-fold, one is that it can potentiate the side effects, so you may get a lot more drowsy, dizzy and nauseous than usual, basically each drink will hit you as if ...
