> > What I hate about Zoloft is that it affects my memory and concentration. I turn into an idiot on it! Phone numbers I've known for years I suddenly can't remember. When I talk I have difficulty "finding" words, i.e. I know what I want to say but I can't pull the right word from my memory. The higher the dose the worse it gets but too low a dose doesn't do the trick for me. I liked it for anxiety but I actually think Remeron is doing a better job there too. And, of course, I had the sexual side-effects etc., etc. but the memory thing was by far the most debilitating.

> Yeh, just to butt in here, I have found SSRI's to be the most stupifying drugs out there hands down. Even benzos and stabilizers aren't nearly as bothersome. At the top I would rank Zoloft of the SSRIs I've tried.Glad to know I'm not the only one. I haven't noticed that particular side-effect being mentioned very often.
