I swear that years of taking meds had affected my short term memory. So I guess I am the opposite of you.

Which med are coming off?

prozac. well, thats the thing, i dont know which way around it was, it is soo counterintuitive to think you are losing your memory off them.. but i only noticed the memory loss when i tried to start again.. though it may be because it was halting?? i think i had gradual memry loss on them, but when i came off them, it was instant, severe and VERY STRANGE. i just want to know whether to start the damn things again to halt my memory loss!!

did i completely change my brain chemistry from being on it 13 years so i couldnt stop it?? granted it was cold turkey so i think i really gave myself brain damage.. (neurotransmittors couldnt readjust in time??)
