In reply to Paxil and Memory, posted by Jen B on January 19, 2001, at 11:37:08
This problen has been around for a while.. there are 2 parts... kind chicken or egg kind of thing.
If the med is not fully treating the depression /anxiety.. the faulty memory is the fault of inadequate treatment...
Meds like paxil can also cause the same type of fuzziness...
For me it was inadequate treatment with zoloft & not the zoloft... I felt OK & thought I was fine except for terrible short term memory....
you should discuss this at length with you DOC as the options are 100% different.
For the one you increase meds for the other you decrease meds... sometimes you have to change to a different med ( SSRI ) or even a different class.
Do not give up... with the right med,.. memory will be like it was before.
