I very definitely experienced the same on Celexa (20mg). You're certainly not imagining it, and it may not resolve on its own.Zoloft and Prozac were the only two (S)SRI's that actually made me feel sharper -- for a time, anyway. I think I was finally pulled under by the over-time dampening of dopaminergic function that SSRI's are hypothesized to cause.
What are your primary symptoms? Mine were/are all related to cognitive functioning (slowed thinking et al.), which probably aren't a good match for SSRI's in the first place.
