Is contrave relatively harmless if you have major depression diagnosed but very overweight ?

Citalopram: Citalopram is a fantastic drug that is tolerated well by most patients. I'm unsure how you'd define "harmless" ... But, in general, the response to most antidepressants can be some dry mouth, nausea and changes in sleep patterns. These side effects tend to be short lived and if they're bothering you can be easily managed by your psychiatrist. Hope that helps!
