Hi danf,
I had talked about the traumatic incident when it happened under "kath" - that's the only name I use. I received tons of support, which really helped me.
I'm finding that if I really "pay attention" to life - what I'm doing; what I'm saying; my memory is better, however I seem to have to put in extra effort to pay attention.
I'm still at the same dose of Celexa (20 mg) & both my docs tend to think the memory problems are to do with the "trauma".
Hope you're well, Kath
