yeah i know what you mean, it can be an anxiety symptom but i got it when i first started on citalopram as a side effect!

Yup. Citalopram gives me a claggy mouth but as I'm recovering from kidney stones it's handy that it makes me drink more.

Anything with caffeine or tannins in it contribute to this as well.

Hi mate and welcome :)

Dry mouth is an ultra common side effect with anti-d's like Citalopram.

If you dont mind me saying mate.....You have anxiety and are now on anti-d's.....Keep off the coke as its full of caffiene which is bad for anxiety and any form of alcohloic drink as that makes anxiety worse when it wears off and also puts a slight strain on the liver.
