Memory loss!!

[Two heads]

Hi all!
I have been taking citalopram for five months all so,and have found ive got momory loss!
I just seem to for get the silly things all the time. Its stuff i would have had no problem remembering befor i ever started these drugs.
Where i put things ,and stuff from the shop,what people have said to me.Sometimes ive even asked people the same question that i asked them 10mins befor!
Does anyone else suffer with this?xxxx

Yes definitely

I had the same thing with Citalapram - I think possibly you can get this short term memory loss with most ssri's not sure though.

It's embarrassing actually, my daughter would say "don't you remember me telling you mum".

Hi Two heads

I was on Citalapram for 8 months. Like you I found that my short term memory was shot to pieces. However, I did find that I was remembering things from my childhood that I thought I had forgotten.
