I know that I personally was a zombie on lexapro and abilify. To me they made my brain sort of slow, which is really unusual for me. I know a huge problem I had (and still have, though now on different meds) is that I could think of words or phrases and couldn't physically get them out of my brain. Its a very frustrating thing to go through. It made coherent thought nearly impossible and simple things that I used to love doing, like logic puzzles, were absolutely impossible for me to complete. It was like somewhere between reading and figuring my brain just shorted out and nothing would make sense. I would try to talk (or write) and in the middle of a thought I would get lost and unable to remember where I was going, even if I reread what I wrote or was reminded of what I was talking about, the thoughts were just GONE. Before you took meds were you having a hard time writing?

I know that I personally have great difficulty doing any creative writing now that I am on meds, though before I was on them I was a prolific writer.
