Hi all, hope I'm in the right place for this.

I suffer with a poor memory and have done so for over 6 years.
I had a bit of a break down back then, which at the time affected my speech and memory.
Although it's not as bad now on a day to day basis, it does get a lot worse if I am under stress. I also have trouble finding words when having a conversation, which I find very embarrassing.
I can't seem to retain information any more. Even reading a book, I find I don't remember characters names etc.

I went back on citalopram July 2010 and am currently still taking 30mg a day.

I have an active brain. I've always had to keep my mind busy, therefore I do word puzzles and play strategy games.
Can anyone tell me how to improve my memory to retain information?
Looking forward to any advice.
Thanks
Buttercup
