It was Zoloft, 25 mg. After 4 months it made me very confused and gave me memory problems - remembering names, places, words, conversations... to the extent that following YouTube vids started to become difficult and I could start a sentence (albeit a complex one) and be unable to finish it. Apparently that's not a listed side effect so don't let it put you off. I'm on venlafaxine now, have been for about 2 weeks. I feel less sharp than before and a bit less articulate but not to the extent I was on the Zoloft. Still early days though. I'm really hoping the venlafaxine doesn't leave me the same way and that the problem isn't just SSRIs/SNRIs in totem - they are supposed to be the class of antidepressant with the least potential to mess you up.
IIN that my friend is so intolerant of my anxiety?
