been on 50mg for 2 months and im becoming a bit absent minded.

i woke up at 8.30 today for a therapy session thinking that it was the 17th (a whole week earlier than it should have been)

keep stumbling over my words and cant seem to string a sentence together without it coming out all jumbled up.

is this normal?

    Hi there,

    I've been on 50mg 4 months, 100mg 3 months. My memory is bad, like you lose words,etc. I made two cups of tea the other day. Smoke detectors gone off more. I thought it was my age.56. Who knows. Review next Monday. Am fed up of it. This morning, woke up, had to think what day it was.!!!

    Not sure what I meant to be feeling as I feel numb.

    I hope you improve. Keep me posted.

    Claire.

      Hi Claire,

      my memory is bad too, but it could be due to depression/Anxiety/Medication. I started on 50mg Sertraline back in October, gradually increased now to 200mg. 

      Talk to your GP, they might change your meds or increase it.

      Take care,

    Hi Alice,

    I'm so glad it's not just me that's forgetful, I get the days mixed up too.

    i'm not sure wether this is due to Depression, Anxiety or medication, could be a combination of all Of them. 

    I'm sure there's others on here that have the same forgetfulness.

    talk to your GP if you're still worried tho. 

    Good Luck,

    carol x

      Hi Carol

      My G.P considered changing them.After 6mths. I don't want to try all over again. Damn chemicals. They have lifted my mood. Let's see perhaps an increase, tho its more to come off. Let's see what Monday brings it's my decision at end of day.

      Thanks Claire.
