Sooo I've had some issues with tagging this last week. And I'm starting to really wonder if it's the new meds I'm on. Because the drive isn't gone. It's just... I can't really focus right now. And it bothers me because the meds were supposed to help not hinder me!

So that's why I might be picking random tags to reply to. Or not tag at all . Because my brain is mean

đĩ đžĖ đˇ đĒ
when did you start your meds?

đđĸđĒđģđĒđŋđđÎŧđđđ đŽ
About two weeks ago.

đĩ đžĖ đˇ đĒ
give it another 2-3 weeks

đđĸđĒđģđĒđŋđđÎŧđđđ đŽ
Yeah I'm hoping it'll sort itself out. But till then the most common side effect is trouble with memory and concentration lol

đĩ đžĖ đˇ đĒ
may i ask the name of your new medication? (pharmacy is my domain)

đđĸđĒđģđĒđŋđđÎŧđđđ đŽ
Sure. It's Citalopram

lethargy is a thing in the beginning, for sure, to various degrees. it's something common among our patients and i've experienced it myself as well

đĩ đžĖ đˇ đĒ
i was constantly in some sort of haze, it's difficult to describe

đđĸđĒđģđĒđŋđđÎŧđđđ đŽ
Yup that too. Lots of that. that in spades

đĩ đžĖ đˇ đĒ
it went away after a month and a half-ish

đđĸđĒđģđĒđŋđđÎŧđđđ đŽ
oh joy. It goes away?

đđĸđĒđģđĒđŋđđÎŧđđđ đŽ
Thats a relief ^^

đĩ đžĖ đˇ đĒ
it does! it's just your brain trying to adjust

đđĸđĒđģđĒđŋđđÎŧđđđ đŽ
Good. Good I'm glad.

đĩ đžĖ đˇ đĒ
and then the will to do things came back as well

đđĸđĒđģđĒđŋđđÎŧđđđ đŽ
Yes. I like being able to do things!

đĩ đžĖ đˇ đĒ
hang in there!

N á´ á´ Ę âââ
hope it settles for you soon!

đđĸđĒđģđĒđŋđđÎŧđđđ đŽ
I hope so too! Because finding my focus is getting harder >.>

that's the med I'm on (although I think I need to be screened for ADHD). Brain fog is normal for the first month.

đđĸđĒđģđĒđŋđđÎŧđđđ đŽ
Wow brain fog... That's accurate and the beat description for how I've been feeling

Jailynn
yep! I am so used to brain fog

N á´ á´ Ę âââ
iirc brain fog is the 'official' term for it, too


đđĸđĒđģđĒđŋđđÎŧđđđ đŽ
It definitely feels like that. And I hate it. I want to do things but

đđĸđĒđģđĒđŋđđÎŧđđđ đŽ
I hope this fixes itself.
