I've been on AD's off and on for 12 years, and am now 34.
Recently I quite Effexor after 7 years. My memory is not what it was.
I originally blamed meds, but you know what? Even hardcore drug addicts find some healing when they get off drugs. Quitting Effexor for 5 months did not help my symptoms as much as hoped. I saw very little improvement.
BUT I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, known to wreak havoc with thyroid function AND cause some brain fog. If anything, the stress associated with NOT being on a med worsened the Thyroid disorder for me.
Just started Wellbutrin for associated symptoms.
