Still on Citalopram?: Especially in combo, grogginess is a common side effect. It has a short 1/2-life (~7hrs) so, if you stop - after 7rs you'll have 50mg in you., then 25, then 12.5, then 6.25, etc. In 2-3 days - all gone! I usually urge people who are not happy w/ side effects to consider psychotherapy as a way to reduce or eliminate need for meds. Think about CBT for anxiety mgmt skills. Multi-purpose, safe skills.
