> for SLS, bleauberry and anyone else who has suffered from this post SSRI syndrome, did you find that taking noradrenergic drugs restored your ability to concentrate and remember things? My ability to hold knew information and move it to longer term memory is really bad since coming off prozac. Also are you able to feel love? I know intellectually that I love someone but can rarely feel it. Have you seen any improvements in these areas, if you had these symptoms?
The things that you describe can be symptoms of depression. Depression often gets worse over time. It can also morph from being an illness that is primarily of negative affect to one of impairments of cognition and memory.
I am not challenging the existence of a post-SSRI syndrome. I have not researched it to form an opinion.
Did you experience these things while you were taking Prozac, or did they appear only after you discontinued it? Did these things exist prior to your first exposure to antidepressants?
