Hello folks, this is for those having been on CIT for 6 + months. Still having slight dizziness and foggy feeling first thing in morning. Anyone else experience this and did it go away ! Good luck to everyone and be well !

    Hi Louise. Ive been on 20 mg citalopram since the end of November.

    Ive felt very drugged and very fatigued with the foggy head.

    Its hard to know whether its the citalopram or the illness.

    I have decided to lower my citalopram as I dont feel much difference on the 20 mg as I did on 10 mg. Probably just more side effects to be honest.

    My sleep hasnt improved either.

    What time of day do you take your citalopram?? as im not sure whether to alter the time of day ive been taking it either.

    Alison

      Hi Alison, I take my med around 9 at night.I'm sure it's med doesn't happen all the time but enough to notice and be annoying.
