I can't remember when I did something, especially when it's something I habitually used to do. If I put garden sheets down someplace, I run around trying to figure out where I put it.

I take Effexor as well, and I don't know if it the meds or just getting older, but darn I can't remember anything.

I feel the same! I also take Adderall for ADHD. I feel like all this medicine has made me stupid or ditzy

This is a sign that the dose needs increasing, I and my daughter was on this, they gave her 300mg, increasing by 75mg, in prolonged released doses, so 150, then up it. My gp, kept me at 75mg, I was like a zombie, left my daughters front door open and couldnt remember if I closed it. everything was like having moon boots on. if your having anxiety, its because, yep you guessed it, the dose not strong enough. They kept me on that dose, for yearsssss. Im about to sue them. They have wasted my life, I could have been back to work much much sooner and my life not been wasted. two years ago I demanded to be put on same dose as daughter, as she was fine running a business , as I would have been. if given the right dose for me. Now Im 59, 30 years wasted. 30 yeaaaarrrrs my life!!! Get your doctor to read this, print it off. I trained as a dip counsellor. And I went to see if I had alzheimer's, my memory was so bad. (some people have a higher disposition and their bodies break the medicine down quickly)

I really this helps a lot of people, get their lives back.

I just don't know anymore. I've been battling off and on for over 40 years. I hate cancer this year in that put it into a whole different spin. At the moment the cancer is gone but my mental illness is stronger than ever.
