im so confused lately.
I forget words, what im saying mid-sentence. i keep reading words wrong - and ive always been a lover of reading- i see then as similar looking words and have to keep re-reading things. Sometimes im seeing the wrong colours! I look at a brown smartie but see it as orange And its not till i look more carefully that i see its Quite a different colour than what i first saw. Very strange. My doctor is gonna slowly lower my dose of effexor (bye bye hyopomania) And i hope that these symptoms go away! |

Quote:
My pdoc thought it was manic psychosis (well the colour confusion and then other hallucinations of absent objects) but most of what you describe there I get from time to time even when I think I'm neither high nor low. Typical "brain fog" which makes reading very difficult especially when my eyes dart around the page and refuse to follow a methodical reading approach. Forgetting names of familiar objects - even of people I know well. Then days later, I have no trouble remembering tiny details from all sorts of things. It is very frustrating, and I haven't found a satisfactory neurochemical explanation for it yet - that I can comprehend in my foggy state, anyway. I hope you find useful answers. TS |

I'm sorry that you're experiencing these problems. I always have issues with attention, and when I'm depressed, I cannot remember anything without a lot of effort. Once, when I was really stressed last year, my vision got blurry and I could not comprehend anything I read.
 I thought I was having a stroke, but thankfully, whatever it was, it had disappeared by morning. I have never been on an antidepressant, so perhaps that may explain why your issues have been more intense. If so, I hope that decreasing the effexor helps.
