In reply to Cognitive problems still persist, what next?, posted by scatterbrained on March 21, 2005, at 0:56:18
When I was on SSRI's alone, I had cognitive problems. (I had even worse cpognitive problems before taking AD's). After switching to Cymbalta a few months a go, my cognitive problems are a lot less.
Maybe you would be better off with Cymbalta than Zoloft. Besides serotonin, Cymbalta also affects norepinephrine and I think that that is why it helped with my cognitive problems.
> I increased my adderallXR to 50mg in morning and 30mg in the evening and I still can't think straight. When first started the adderal, even before increasing it to this amount, it seemed to work almost to the point of a full remission(thats along with taking aricept5mg,namenda10mg,zoloft100mg,zyprexa5mg and SAME1600)
> This is really a huge let down because I was so close and my next plan was to gradually taper off some of the other meds to see what was causing some of these residual cognitive problems, perhaps that's still the plan, anyway, I see my doc next week so just have to wait. And i was just wondering if anybody has any suggestions as to what I might think about increasing, decreasing, or adding. Thanks so much.
