Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern
Hapicit-e(Citalopram) is a very good antidepressant that may help to control your symptoms.However, i will advise you see a Psychiatrist for evaluation before you start with the drug as you will need regular follow-ups and dose adjustments if need be.
As for the dosage of Hapicit-e, daily doses of 20 to 400mg are generally prescribed to manage drpression.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Wish you good health
