In reply to Best/Worst Meds for Cognitive Functioning/Memory?, posted by Donny on March 9, 2003, at 17:13:23
I'm on Lexapro (same thing, but twice as strong) 15mg. I've been on it for about 1.5 years, and I definetly know what you mean.
I have problems with word retrieval. I can't think of the words that I want to say, but I know what I want to say. My memory has worsened also, and I have started having speech problems, like studdering or mixing up words like "Bat Cave" -> "Cat Bave". I feel like I sound like an idiot.
I'm also on Wellbutrin SR 200mg, trazadone 75mg at night, and clonazepam 2.5mg/day. But it is definetly the celexa. I hate these SSRIs. And Celexa ain't that side-effect free like these people want you to believe. When are they going to come out with some GOOD drugs that help with OCD, but don't make me a moron?!
Let me know if you figure out what will help with this problem.
Good Luck,
