Background:Patients with panic disorder and social anxiety disorder (SAD) can experience social withdrawal, social phobia, and other symptoms of social phobia, such as anxiety, fear, and pain. The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of citalopram (Celexa) in the treatment of patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD) with or without panic disorder. Methods: We conducted a single-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial using a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial in patients with SAD. Patients were included if they had ever been prescribed Celexa, who had previously experienced social phobia (e.g., social anxiety, fear, pain, and pain) and panic disorder (e.g., panic disorder, panic, social phobia, anxiety). We also included patients with an initial treatment response of at least 2 weeks and were eligible if they were taking the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) Celexa or placebo. A comprehensive online form was developed to answer all the relevant questionnaires, including the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), and Social Phobia (SAD-P). Results: Of 1,091 patients treated for at least 2 weeks, 1,717 of the patients were female and 1,717 were male. The most common symptoms of social anxiety were anxiety during the pre-specified pre-specified phase 3 trial, with a mean symptom score of 1.4. The mean symptom score for the GAD was significantly higher in the pre-specified compared to the pre-specified phase 3 trial. The mean symptom score for panic and social anxiety was significantly higher in the pre-specified compared to the pre-specified phase 3 trial, while the symptom score for panic and social anxiety was lower in the pre-specified compared to the pre-specified phase 3 trial. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that Celexa, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, effectively reduces anxiety, social phobia, and panic disorder in patients with SAD-P.

Clinical Trial ExperienceSelective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are an effective and well-documented treatment for the treatment of panic disorder and social anxiety disorder (SAD). They are primarily prescribed off-label for the treatment of these conditions, but have also been used off-label for other conditions, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). SSRIs may have additional effects on patients who have been diagnosed with OCD. Although SSRIs are typically well-tolerated, they are associated with a variety of adverse effects including headache, sedation, and weight gain []. In a postmarketing report of 631 patients with SAD, a pooled analysis of all SSRI and placebo-controlled clinical trials reported that there were more side effects in patients treated with SSRIs compared to placebo []. The incidence of side effects of SSRI drugs in patients treated with SSRIs is low, ranging from 3% to 10% of patients with SAD [–]. The incidence of side effects associated with SSRIs in patients with SAD is similar to that of patients with OCD [].
What is Celexa (Citalopram)?
Citalopram belongs to a group of medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is used to treat a wide range of mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and others. In addition, it is used to treat and manage other mental health conditions such as major depressive disorder.
Citalopram works by restoring the balance of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. This, in turn, can improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy levels and reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. The exact mechanism of action of Celexa is not yet fully understood, but some studies have shown that it can reduce the levels of certain chemicals in the brain. This may help to reduce the severity of depression and other mental health conditions.
Citalopram is also sometimes used to treat certain types of sexual problems. However, it is not approved for use in children under the age of 18. It is also not suitable for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Citalopram is available in tablet form as well as as in liquid and as a nasal spray. It is usually taken once or twice a day.
Citalopram may also be prescribed for other conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), migraine, insomnia, and other anxiety-related disorders.
