This is fascinating. Thank you zefdie.
Since my studies and hobbies involve math, philosophy, and serious creative writing, I can usually tell if my brain isn't working up to capacity.
I took Welbutrin for at least a year and I don't remember any cognition problems that didn't seem related to the depression. Certainly, I didn't feel smarter when I went on one of my occasional drug vacations.
I did get cognition problems from nearly all the SSRI's, Paxil, Effexor, and (worst of all) Remeron. Parnate is the first AD I've ever taken that not only works, but did not impair my cognative or emotional response. It's a miracle drug as far as I'm concerned.
