What Is The Cause Of Slight Memory Loss When On Hydroxyzine?

I am currently taking citalophram for depression and hydroxyzine for anxiety - 10mg each. 20 mgs of citalophram in the morning and 20 mgs again in the evening. Lately I ve notice slight memory loss or sometimes I forget what I m talking or supposed to say, is this a side effect? It just started two weeks ago.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Slightly memory loss may be due to underline anxiety. In that case, antidepressant would help to decrease the anxiety and improve the pseudo-dementia that you have. Carry on with same dose of citalopram. It is not due to this rather it would help to decrease such symptoms.

Thanks
