citalopram side effects long term

Many of the symptoms you experienced are potential side effects of Celexa (aka Citalopram), namely agitation, anxiety, fatigue, drowsiness, sweating, and panic.

While it is unfortunate that your experience with Celexa was a negative one, it is important not to generalize your experience to all antidepressants.

The manufacturer has by law to list all known side-effects on their product data sheets, even rare side-effects.

I gave up alcohol and got put back on another antidepressant (mirtazapine). This worked but had pretty bad side effects. I soon started to notice the return of gastritis symptoms. Over 2008 I experiemented with serveral antidepressants which all gave me horrible side effects, I ended up on a low dose of a tricyclic, dosulepin. My gastritis remained for most of the year, and i attempted drinking every 3 months or so untill it started to hurt again.

There are many reasons for short-term memory problems the most prevalent being that your unconscious mind is preoccupied with something else and you aren't paying that kind of attention that you usually do.

I don't know why it took me so long to understand this but the key word is "potential" side effects.
