Medicine Description depaway 40mg
Depaway 40 mg 10 tablets is a medication that combines citalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), with lamotrigine, a mood stabilizer. Citalopram works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain, which helps improve mood and alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. Lamotrigine, on the other hand, modulates the release of neurotransmitters and stabilizes mood by inhibiting the excitatory activity of glutamate. Together, these mechanisms contribute to a balanced emotional state, reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood swings.
