This is the first I have heard that SSRI's can slow cognition. Before that I heard that drugs like prozac help people think more quickly. I am very sensitive to this and in my experience the SSRI's don't usually affect cognition. IT's the benzodiazipines that slow cognition and affect memory the most. Chances are if the AD is alleviating depression you will think faster, be more alert, etc. Prozac is the most activating of the SSRI's and is probably least likely to slow you down.
