Hi there, I am really wanting some help. I've been on Citalopram for four days now and I am getting so frustrated because I just cannot think straight. My mind is constantly foggy and I feel like a zombie. I get so annoyed because I cant do anything and if i didnt force myself im sure I would just sit staring into space. I am at university and have essays due in the next week and I just cannot think enough to be able to write anything. I end up just staring at the computer!!
I dont know what to do. I want to stay on the medication because i want it to help me but i cant do the work that i really need to and i dont have the time to wait weeks for the symptoms to pass.
Has anyone had this same effect and if so how long did it last? And was there anything that you did that got you out of this foggy state in the mean time? Coffee? Energy drinks? I dont know I will try anything!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Thanks for the post though, i have an appointment with my gp in a week so i will tell him if it doesnt lift.
I just wanted to see if anyone has any tips on how to stay focused?
