It causes me major stress when a client wants to talk on phone. Least with email I can take time to figure out. Then on phone with client, and having to apologize often because I can't remember words, or thoughts.... it's destroying my business.

And I don't know if related, but now my thoughts jump around so much from topic to topic now.

Before I started SSRIs (Lexapro, then Zoloft), then Benzo (Klonopin.) I was successfully self-employed. Now...

I know these medicines help some people (be grateful), but also serious risk for others.
I'm so sorry, Ocean. I don't know how anyone could work or have a normal social life with the cognitive impairment benzos cause.
Thanks for this!
