You know, IsoM, I was also trying to switch from one antidepressant (Serzone) to another (Luvox) when my symptoms started. I was doing a cross-taper. Was never able to get onto Luvox, or back to the original dose of Serzone (had become sensitized to it; it made me manic, gave me itchy throat, and heart palpitations). So I had to dumpt my AD pretty fast. I was also on a pretty low dose of armour thyroid and levoxyl at the time.
Wonder if because I was on Serzone for 2 years, and had an undertreated thyroid, if my body has been unable to overcome the withdrawal. Like, maybe it stopped doing for itself what the Serzone did, and hasn't been able to achieve equilibrium yet, and part of the result is cognitive failure.
