Hi, the doctor thought I had am anxiety disorder and put me on Sertraline. I am thirty five years old. I had been taking 50mg Sertraline for a couple of weeks when I noticed that I was becoming very forgetful and clumsy. My memory loss was short term, I would walk into a room in my house say: "good morning" then go out of the room only to totally forget I saw the person. My doctor told me to have 25mg every other day for a week and stop taking them. I stopped taking the tablets totally five weeks ago and I was feeling o.k but a couple of weeks ago I started feeling mixed up again. The best way to describe it is my head feels fuzzy, I just don't feel sharp anymore. I used to be able to do 10 jobs at the same time but now I forget what I am doing in the middle and start doing something else. I have a constant headache. Does anyone have any experience of this?
