I can't think. I can't think fast (normal). Thinking is very slow, concentration is down, and all wittiness/quickness/sassiness is g-o-n-e. It's like an eternal hangover of the fuzzy mind. Anyone else experience this, and what have your docs said?

taking 25 mg of celexa. went down from 30 2 weeks ago because the fatigue and mind-dumbness was too extreme.

SSRI's need a few weeks to months for their optimum effect to be apparent, If you are taking citralopam (Celexa) for a chronic depressive disorder you need to know that it is no silver bullet and the depression needs to be also treated by concurrent psychotherapy to resolve bad negative thinking habits. According to wikipedia celexa is well tolerated and only a relatively few suffer moderate side effects like you described. If the symptoms you feel you are experiencing persist I would ask my physician to change to another SSRI. In any case do not stop taking them with out a physician's help in tapering off.
I take sertraline, an SSRI, which has no discernible side effects for me.
Good luck, good health, peace and love!
