memory loss? sex drive?

[sarell]

Since i've been upped from 10mg t0 20mg of Citalopram i cant seem to keep my brain in order, and my sex drive has gone down, but not sure if the 2nd thing is because my b/f is a unsupportive ass.
What do you lot think?

Memory loss is common ,so is loss of sex drive.It definately wont help with an unsympathetic partner.There is a chance that it will improve,once you get used to the pills.I feel better than I did and it doesnt really affect things,unfortunately the memory thing still comes and goes, but I tend to laugh it off. A small price to pay to feel better.:winks: Sue xx

me too i have memory loss at times and i know that every thing withh bo okay,what scares me is when i can concentrate at work or when i'm spacey.

Memory problems are common if you are depressed or anxious. Same with reduced sex drive. Citalopram's side effects can make things worse for a while, particularly with your sex drive.

I have the same problem with memory loss and my sex drive with Citalopram. Apart from these two things with Citalopram my life has changed for the better.

My memory is ok, but I have no sex drive anymore. I have been meds for 14 months and have no sexual desire whatsoever. I feel sorry for my husband, but he has been very understanding. Does it come back??? I was wondering if there was anything that I could take.

Heyyy, Huuuhhhhh
Finnalyy I am not the only one with the memory and S*X problem.

Had big problems on the second one with my husband as my condition has been going on for 4 years.

Sometimes crying, sometimes laughing about lack of drive: good exuse is: we dont want S*X because we forgot what its like because of the memory problems.

recently I am trying to fix this - my husband is trying to help me a bit with this by letting me relax more, and the fact that it actually happens occasionnally makes me feel more normal, and one anxiety less.

After some times I hope it will start doing real good as it supposed to relax us and maybe memory will come back as well :o)

my memory is all over the place and lack of sex before hand hasnt been very helpful now

I haven't had any major memory problems... more concentration issues.

I had a loss of sex drive for the first two months but then I was fine.

Now I'm coming off them the concentration and sex drive is a bit rubbish again!

When I first started my 40mg dose, my sex drive dropped to an almighty low (it's normally very high). I was away from home for a few weeks in December and I ran out. It came back with a mighty vengence!
I never really experienced memory loss on the 40mg, but I am going through the withdrawal stages of reducing from 40mg to 20mg atm and I'm becoming really scatty - I'll open the fridge and I'll forget why; I'll walk into a room for no reason, thinking I need to go in there when I don't. Also, sex drive has decreased in the withdrawal stage as well.
