Citalopram brain fog

I've been on citalopram for years but felt it wasn't really working for me anymore and the brain fog was terrible (was up to 40) tried coming down but anxiety and depression returned. Tried sertraline but had such bad diarrhea that I had to quit after 3 months. I just don't know what to do next. Back on 20 citalopram and the brain fog is worse than ever and I'm really low. All the alternatives seem to have diarrhea as a side effect or sleepiness (I have ME so can't be even tireder!).

Feel stuck, my GP just asks what I want to try but I don't know what to say.

Has anyone got any similar experiences?
