It wasn't until I stopped prozac and stayed off, that concentration and memory problems started. Hopefully this is due to the serotonin dominance we have been discussing here, because I am running out of ideas.

i guess what i'm curious about is the nature of your concentration problems? maybe it's different because i have OCD, so would always have ruminations to deal with when trying to concentrate. but i felt like i had the ability to a certain extent, to "override" the ruminations and stay focused on something. now i feel like the window of my attention is a lot smaller, and i lack that prompting ability, so i struggle with things like maintaining more complex trains of thought, or even reading more descriptive sections of books because i get a bit lost and the words don;t 'stick' mentally. i guess it feels exactly like ADD.

i'm wondering if that sounds too severe for anhedonia?
