Hey everyone,

I take 50mg of Sertraline every night before i sleep and have been for about a month or just over. The past couple of days I've felt like I have been losing memory and its making me feel really uncomfortable and strange. Also if not feeling memory loss I get confusion. Does anyone else get this? Or had experience of this? I'm 17 and just feel really uncomfortable at the moment. I also have seizures but idk if they are to do with this memory loss situation.

    it's normal with anxiety and depression, but seizures with sertraline is not normal at all, do you get seizures because of something else?

      I did have Epilepsy, but then they said that they think my seizures are actually caused by anxeity. Its all really confusing.

    hi chris, i've been on sertraline for 2 yrs now and yeah i have those symptoms too .My memory is bad and i get confused all the time think its a mix of the meds and the anxiety. Do you have epilepsy? If not get urself checked out asap. Best of luck to you on ur meds hope they work out for you. How many seizures have u had?

    I never heard anxiety would cause seizures, but you should get a second opinion, hope you get better soon!try omega 3, it's good for brain.
