My mother has been on SSRI's for 4 years (until last week when she got switched to Cymbalta), anyway, I have noticed a very real change in her cognitive function.
She will be in the middle of sentence with me and just stop and say, " what was I saying?"She gets lost much easier while driving, etc..
She has laughed and said, " These pills are making me dumb but they make me so happy I don't care."
LOL
so it could definitely be the meds. I would also suggest a benzo if your anxiety is that bad.
You mentioned you were on Xanex before- that is a benzo, if you had success with it, maybe try it again.
Good luck!
