Citralopram - loss of creativity?

Jon

I was just wondering if anyone has become less creative as a result of taking SSRI's? I paint and male electronic music alot. I think it is way I wind down and recharge. I can get sort of anxious when I do it and really focused. It feels good. When I took Fluoxetine in the past I am pretty sure it made music/painting less appealing and I just couldn't get into it the same. Now I am takling Citralopram I worry it may do the same. Citralopram may reduce depression and anxiety but does it also reduce creativity also?

  • .... reading on the internet just now there are suggestions there is some sort of relationship between Citalopram, serotonin, dopamine, Aspergers and special interests..... Some of the info is contradictory but it may be the case that the increase in serotonin may result in a decrease in dopamine which is already lower in people with Aspergers?  Intense focused interests are a way to help raise dopamine levels so if the Citalopram effects this.........
