> I seem to have long-term cognitive deficits from the ssri's I have been taking , even when im off of them on. Well it seems when I change the dose , like for example , i'll lower it 5 milligrams , it seems as though my mental facalties return for about 4 days or so and then the effect wears off. During that period I feel more close to "normal" then I ever have , regarding mental functioning. Anyone have an explanation as to why it occurs.
i believe this is due to a temporary rebound in dopamine transmission after sustained SSRI-induced, indirect dopamine inhibition.
