Citalopram does not give me brain-fog. Lack of sleep definitely does!

It gave me appalling brain fog in the end. Which was a shame because it was the only AD that really got me back on my feet and made me feel like myself initially. I had to give up doing a PhD because I couldn't string two sentences together. I also slept and slept and slept - in the end, I felt drugged up on it.

Have you been on it for a while?

If you choose to come off it, taper really really slowly so you don't get any side effects.
IME Seroxat didn't give brain fog - the opposite - I felt very intellectually sharp but lacking in emotions. Bloody lottery isn't it?
