Dr. Linda Callaghan answered

Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Relief of symptoms.: Your doctor prescribed you these medication because you have provided him with reasons to believe that you are depressed and anxious. Citalopram is for depression and Diazepam is for anxiety and also muscle tension or spasms. Please take them as prescribed. If you have doubts or concerns .please call him and let him know.
