The Celexa is still pretty new for you, isn't it? That fuzzy brain side effect might get better soon.

I found that I felt quite lethargic the whole time I was on Celexa. I was on it for about 16 months, I think. Initially, I was very brain-foggy, but that got better after a few weeks. I was able to focus and concentrate at work and think clearly, but I had to write myself lots of notes and keep detailed to-do lists because my short-term memory wasn't as sharp as it had been before. The lists were very helpful. I wrote everything down and it kept me on top of things at work.

I found that when I was on my own at home, however, with no specific tasks to focus on and without the pressure of a job to put me in gear, I would just zone out. I thought of Celexa as my "intertia pill" for that reason. I felt like I needed an outside force to snap me out of it and get me in motion. I would be sitting at home and would think of something I needed to do, and then a few minutes later, I would remember that I was going to do it and realize I had forgotten, so I would tell myself to get up and do it, and then a few minutes later, I'd remember again and realize I was still sitting there doing nothing. It was weird and frustrating. I also had a tendency to forget my train of thought sometimes and often didn't finish sentences when I was talking with friends or family. Being at work was quite different, though. I think the energy and activity of the workplace was enough to keep me alert and focused. Celexa's pros outweighed the cons for me (it helped me get over severe agoraphobia and panic attacks). It didn't make me depressed or extremely drowsy like some ADs have. My mood was more positive. I hope it ends up working well for you once you've adjusted to it. Keep us posted.
