Hello, I suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder and I have great trouble concentrating while reading. I am currently taking Citalopram, Flupentixol and Pregablin. Does anybody else have this problem?

I have never had problems reading, only when I lose interest in activities and just do not want to. It may be the medication, I used to take Citalopram and it just did not work for me, I became lethargic, emotionless and uninterested in everything, not to mention I could barely smell food without feeling sick let alone eat. I do much better on Fluoxetine but may be looking into taking mood stabilisers.

To be honest, I think it is the medication; I am due a medication review on the 22nd June so I will discuss it with the psychiatrist then. I too find very lethargic all the time however because I am on three different types of meds it's hard to say which one is causing it.
