Been having anxiety and depression over the last month have terrible brain fog that makes it so hard to interact and concetrate on anything got prescribed citalopram for it and am on day 18. From what ive read on here this is a common thing for people with anxiety and depression so im wondering for anybody that has had this and took citalopram did it help ? Its so miserable i feel like once this fog is gone ill be so much better
Hi Barry
Brain fog is a very common symptom of anxiety. Stick with the Citalopram. It takes 4-6 weeks to get into your system and start to work and for any side affects to disappear. I have had Citalopram in the past and it completely changed my life. No more anxiety or panic attacks! You didnt say what dose you are on but the usual dose is 20mg daily. Sometimes doctors give a starting dose of 10mg. I have in the past been on 40mg daily when severely anxious but 20mg usually keeps me right. I hope you start to feel better soon but if you dont see an improvement after 4 weeks speak to your doctor as there are other meds to try as they dont all suit everybody. Take care x
Hi yea im on 10 right now doctor wants to increase me to 20 soon thanks
