Hi Angela2,
I get this from time to time also. I am on lots of venlafaxine & mirtazapine. If it's any of my meds causing it, it's gotta be one or both of these.
I find it very embarrassing. There I am trying to sound like a rational human when all of a sudden one of my neural circuit breakers trips & I'm left in the dark looking for candles.
People always smile nicely but I am sure they're thinking something like "he's broken" or "must be stoned" or "mental note: never trust this person with anything important"....
If you don't want to ditch the obvious culprits you mentioned, then maybe try reducing one & see if it goes away? If you can work out which one it is, it'll be a lot easier for the doc to find a replacement :)
Else you could always have a backup plan. How about this: You keep a phone in your pocket & when your train of thought whizzes bye without you, just say "Excuse me, I have to take this - it's important" and pretend the thing vibrated in your pocket. Then you can have a nice 5 min chat with yourself about anything you wish. Chances are when "the call" is over your real conversation partner will have forgotten what you were saying anyway", especially if your pretend one sounds dramatic :)
...well that's all I've got. I feel like jumping into a jet engine intake today. I've pulled the blinds down & had dinner but my watch is looking at me like I'm being ridiculous. It wouldn't mention it of course - it's far too polite. I can just catch it rolling it's eyes when I turn quickly.....
:)
