Thanks for the replies. Recently it seems has though my memory and my ability to flow with conversations has improved significantly but it still seems impaired enough to hinder conversation and I'm still not as cognitively sound as I use to be. I am taking the improvment in itself as hope that my brain will eventually recover.
It has nothing to do with stress, people I use to have easy conversations with, even my parents I often forget and lose my train of thought - this didnt' happen before. These drugs have f'd up my head whether you would think so or not. Believe me I have spent some time exploring other possibilities for my problems, maybe I'm suffering from some obscure neuro-destructive disease that absolves the meds from blame.. who knows.
My memory seems to be getting better, so I think it's just rewiring itself from my mini drug experimentation. I may sound like a hypochondriac saying all this stuff is due to drugs, but I never expected any of these ssri's to do this to me, it just started happening and the only feasible reason was the drug. I wish I sounded as eloquent as I type, my mind is intact when divulging ideas, expressing thoughts, but I have to often stall, to think of what im going to say, and sometimes I forget - so while in text my deficits dont stall, just picture me talking and while articulate, stalling after every 3 sentences and at times minutes to remember what I'm saying. But it's much better then last time and i think eventually I'll get everything back thanks
