Thanks. I have not noticed any memory decline while on Celexa -- but that may just mean it's not significant enough to warrant concern.

> The studies are from MEDLINE. It basically lists all the medical research done since the 1950s. If you want do a search, you can get access at the link I've posted below. If you do a search, use the generic name "citalopram" instead of "celexa". You can add 2 or more words like "citalopram" "memory" "cognitive", etc. When the studies come up you can also follow related articles by clicking on that.

Some research does suggest some memory impairment with some SSRIs in the short-term but there are a few other studies (one was with celexa) that actually suggests memory improvement (at least in the short-term). I don't think the few short-term studies done with SSRIs are very conclusive or useful.
