I am currently taking 200mg Zoloft per day, and have been so for approx. 4-5 months. I also have alot of trouble remembering simple everyday things. The psychologist that I am currently seeing has suggested that because the brain is putting so much emphasis on the emotion, whether it be depression or anxiety (I am the proud owner of both !!!) that it is so busy with them to be thinking or doing anything else. It may have trouble recalling and accessing the short term memory.
I don't know it's just a suggestion? I do crossword puzzles to try and keep my mind active and off the other crap!! Sometimes it works !!
Just to make you feel better I forgot how to spell my middle name (Louise) and sometimes I forget how old I am !! (I'm 25!! I remembered!) How bad is that?
Hope you find a way to work this out and let me know, please? As I am a Uni student doing Nursing and there's so much to recall.

P.S Before the Zoloft I was on 20mg of Paxil (Aropax, here in Australia) for about 18 months. This made me sleep all the time.
