Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental illness that results from a combination of psychological and physical factors.

What is CELEXA S TABLETCELEXA S TABLET is used to manage depression and anxiety disorders by improving the balance of certain brain chemicals, called neurotransmitters, which are essential for mood and emotions. It can also increase the activity of specific mood and anxiety neurotransmitters, so that you may be recommended for further adjustment of your moods and emotions.
For post-traumatic stress disorder, it is used after a man has been injured or killed. It helps the brain feel safe and less anxious, so that it may try to "restore" a previous episode of post-injury depression or anxiety by reducing the levels of certain neurotransmitters. It may also relieve sleep disturbances and sleep apnoea by reducing your anxiety.
The most common side effects of CELEXA S TABLET include lightheaded, dizzy, constipation, dizziness, blurred vision, headache, dizziness associated with anti-reflux properties, tremor, fatigue, indigestion, and, for some women, difficulty having an orgasm, and, after taking it for a long time, nausea. If you experience any changes in these side effects, you must inform your doctor.
