It is SO COOL to refer to my depression in the past tense!
To answer your question about being able to read a paragraph word-for-word and my memory during depression. When depressed, i had no interest in reading much of anything, and when i did, yes it was difficult...I had to re-read sentences over and over to digest the information. This is not the case now. My memory was impaired as well when i was depressed, but i didn't give a sh*t..actually i didn't give a sh*t about much of anything.
I sure hope Lyrica helps you..it has been nothing less than a miracle drug for me. Also, adding EMSAM hopefully will help. Good Luck Bud!
