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

Bromezepam is a Bezodiazepine derivative that is used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and irritability. 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. Have you contacted your doctor, yet? ## i've had a deodenal ulc...

I was on Citalopram for over a year and I came off it in November 2016. I feel so much better not being on it and that I am not zombie like anymore and not to mention the weight gain. Now it is March and I have the worst oily skin ever. It's literally all over my face and it is making my hair so greasy and this isn't a good look. I have tried special soap bars and greasy hair shampoo but it just simple keeps coming back. It's been happening for a few months now and it's really getting on my nerves. Can anyone advise me on this and if anyone else has had a similar experience? I am guessing it is to do with hormones setting back down but how long will it go on for? I'm a 30 year old male. Thanks in advance. ## I came off citalopram in June '17 and since then I'...

can these pills possibly cause a urine infection in men? ## Citalopram is an SSRI class antidepressant. And no, they are not known to cause urinary tract infection, in either men or women. They can, however, cause frequent urination, as well as several sexual side effects, like decreased sex drive and problems reaching orgasm. More details: Is there anything else I can help with? ## Once my libido has been affected can it be regained after I'm no longer taking the medicine citalopram hydrobromide 20mg? ## After 12 days on Citalopram I've been feeling so light-headed and dizzy, but it's getting worse instead of better. Will it get better?

My pharmacist changed my rx to this when I picked it up a few weeks ago. I just looked up the numbers MX33 tonight. I thought I have been going crazy. 100% NOT effective.

Hiya - hope no one minds me sharing. Can we skip the advice re: cold turkey versus tapering? I needed more than I can express, to be back in control of my life and pronto. So I've been on prozac for 15 years and recently over the last four years, citalopram, 40 mg down to 20 mg within the past two years. I am no longer sure if my genuine, underlying emotional situation is causing my effects, or if it's down to citalopram. I have all the typical symptoms - no libido, weight gain, tearful, hopeless, etc. That's while I'm on it. So is it me or is it the medication? Well, I'm off it now so we'll see. But i know for sure I'd rather have a tough withdrawal with symptoms I can apportion to the withdrawal journey, than continue on a weird false fog. I have brain zaps...

is there any info available on citalopram and enlaged liver? ## INFO ON CITALOPRAM AND ENLARGE LIVER ## I do not see it listed in the side effects as reported by the FDA, but there is really no way to know how any given medication may affect any given person that takes it. They do list it as having been known to cause liver dysfunction, and abnormal liver levels on blood tests. Its other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and weight gain. Has your doctor given a reason for an enlarged liver showing up on tests? Are you on any other medications?
