Hi Jeffrey,

I am starting the program over again, so I am not one who has mastered it yet. The reason I am posting a reply is that I saw you are taking Citalopram, and I have taken that myself. I took it for two years until I woke up (figuratively speaking) to see I was living in a total brain fog. I was always super tired no matter how much sleep I got. I would come home from work and crash on the couch, and that was not normal for me before the drug.

So, I am not telling you to quit taking it, that's up to you; but when I did stop I have to tell you that I had a ton more energy, I didn't need to nap, and the brain fog was gone. I was going to college at the time, and on Citalopram I would -despite my best efforts- fall asleep in class. Once I stopped taking it I was able to stay awake with ease.

I was given Citalopram for anxiety and panic attacks, which also involves depression. It's one of the anti-depressants that is calming, whereas something like Wellbutrin perks you up. Just had to say something about that-- hope it helps.
