  • What is citalopram?
    Citalopram (generic Celexa) is a prescription drug used to treat depression, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and social anxiety disorder (SAD). It is also used for treating anxiety caused by depression.

  • What are common side effects of citalopram?
    While adverse reactions to citalopram are rare, some patients who take this drug may experience mild side effects, including nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, decreased appetite, weight loss, frequent urination, excessive tiredness, yawning, weakness, uncontrollable shaking, muscle or joint pain, dry mouth, changes in sex drive, or heavy menstrual periods.

    Rare, more serious adverse events have been known to occur. If you are concerned that citalopram is causing you to experience any number of these side effects, please contact your doctor immediately.

    Though rare, citalopram and other antidepressants may sometimes increase suicidal thoughts or actions in patients under the age of 24. If you are feeling suicidal, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255, text them at 741741, or dial 911.

Note that providers on Sesame cannot prescribe controlled substances.

Sesame video prescription refill appointments are available 24/7 in all 50 states and can be used whenever you need to talk to a health care provider about a prescription refill.

Online prescription refills are up to the discretion of your provider. If you’re a new patient, most providers will write a prescription for 30 days and may want to schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure that the medication is effective. If you’re a returning patient, your provider may prescribe for a longer period of time.

Prescriptions and prescription refills on Sesame are exclusively cash-pay. We do not accept insurance for the provider appointment or the medication. If a clinician sends your prescription to your local pharmacy, you can pick it up and pay with a method of your choice, including your FSA or HSA card, prescription card, cash, credit, and more.

Most insurance plans do not require prior authorization for medication coverage. When you go to the pharmacy to pick up your prescription, the pharmacist can use the insurance information they have on file, or you can give them your insurance information for coverage.

Health insurance plans publish a formulary for the drugs covered by the plan and the corresponding drug and copay prices. Check with your insurance provider to find out what drugs require authorization and the specific coverage information regarding the medication you’ve been prescribed.

For patients who book a weight management service through Sesame’s online weight loss management program, providers can assist with prior insurance authorization requests for your medication. For more information, visit our video weight loss program page.

It is helpful to have proof of a prior prescription before your refill visit. Depending on the medication, some Sesame providers may require proof of a prior prescription before refilling it. Your provider may ask to see a picture of an old pill bottle or check for previous prescriptions from another Sesame provider. In some instances, your Sesame provider may also be able to access a national pharmacy system to see prescriptions from non-Sesame providers.
