I’m slowly coming off citalopram as I’ve been on it since June. I have noticed improvement and been taking 10mg since and only. I had a lot of side effects but it will be different for many people. I believe there’s 10,20 and 40mg. Once a day. Hope it works out for you
To be honest, I'm not sure what disorganized thinking is. The jumble of thoughts that is in most people's minds leads so often to creativity. Connecting things that might not at first appear to have much in common, sparking new concepts, making things meaningful by illuminating them with our feelings.
For me, antidepressants simply allow me to get on with things by damping down some of the intrusive OCD thoughts that get in the way of creative and useful thought. I haven't any experience of citalopram, but I think it works in a similar way.
So take the citalopram if it helps you. If it helps to clear away some of the rubbish that OCD fills your head with, then good. But remember that a tidy mind is an empty, uncreative mind. It's not something to aspire to!
When I First Got OCD It Started in a Decade 1980 (Era) It Starts With Compulsive Washing Irrational Behavior Then The Thought Process Where For Everything You Do You Have To Think Of A Certain Thing Before You Move Onto The Next Thing.To Cut It Short You Can Take Medication and Do What You Can Within Your Means.If Your Mind is Working Within a Certain Range Of Normality Than It Will understand We Repeat Things Cos Of Fear and Anxiety.Many People Like Me In 1991/2 when I was on Chlomipramine Hydrochloride &My Mind Thinking was Lineari Didn't Know that I Thought I Had To Do Nasty Things Or Something Would Happen To Someone Than The Penny Dropped! When Some Old Women Told Me We Repeat Things Cos Of Fear and Anxiety and Also Fear of 13 Etc My Dad had It he Was Maniac He Would only Wash in 12th or 13th of Each Month with he Never Bothered Getting Advise When he Reached 80 I Told Him It's Fear&Anxiety Age a Just Looked at Me!!Same As my Brother He Thought Something Would Happen to His Son( The Mind Will Come up With Something Else If it Doesn't Know a The Correct Reason and Answer) if He Didn't Do Things A Certain Way or on Dates Etc With him The Penny Dropped as Well When I Told Him It's Fear& Anxiety!!! Ignorance is Bliss Was my Dads favourite Saying!True To A certain Point For Some!Disorgansed Thinking Is Like Ig You Imagine a Song As You Her It Than Change The Lyrics So They Are Completely in Disorder out of Sequence!Or If You Can Imagine t he The Alphabet In The Right a Order ABCDEFGHIrearrange Them FHADGBC EI or it Like Getting Your Thoughts Writing Them Down Then Cutting The A4 Paper unto Little Pieces and Puttimg it in Front If A Switched On Fan!All Over The Place!! You Could Google What is Disorganised Thinking and then if yoo don't see it then Press Images!
