Hey Kath
The zoloft memory 'fuzz' did not bother me so much at the time it was worst.
Guess, I could not remember that I could not remember.
Any way, it caused me to lose things like car keys, get lost in some cities driving for brief periods, stuff like that.
Also took some online IQ tests & had about a 15% or so drop from prior scores. After changing to celexa & pindolol ( beta blocker ), & stabilizing, memory went back more or less to normal & IQ scores went back up.
One thing to consider is upping the celexa dose by 10mg /day for a week or 2 & see if there is any effect on your memory. If memory is worse you can assume it is the celexa.
Then you have to consider what action to take. change to another med or perhaps add a booster.
as an after thought... The pindolol may play some role for me. I also had a tremor or shake that seemed to go in parallel to the fuzziness. The pindolol has pretty much taken care of the tremor.
Pindolol is one possible non-psychtropic med to consider as a supplement /booster. It has a benefit of working quickly so there is not a long loading time for a trial.
Best wishes.
hope things continue to improve for you.
