I take 200mg zoloft, 200mg lyrica. At first it was a nightmare - my brain processed everything at a ridiculously low speed, and I just stopped noticing things generally. I'm more used to it now, but for some reason I am finding it really hard to remember to take the meds this past week or so, and I am not really sure how much I've taken or not.
Also my prescription got messed up so i'll run out at some point... I feel like my brain is floating in some thick soup or something.
I can't even remember my question.
Thoughts?

I had the same problem on Zoloft and really, any SSRI. I would pretty much forget everything and walk around in a stupor. My doc put me on an SSNRI and I'm doing much better.

You might talk to your doctor about trying something else. There's no one-size-fits-all drug out there so you may go through several before finding what works.

Yeah i've been trying to switch meds since january. Got down to 100mg zoloft but was getting kind of out of control so my pdoc put me up again and added lyrica. And yeah, sex pretty ****, though depression kind of screws me over there anyway. Getting married in november and would quite like to enjoy the wedding night!

have you tried LEXAPRO , I was on 100mg Zoloft and it stopped working after a year, so I straight tapered on to 20mc Lexapro over night no problem, felt better straight away.

SSRI are nothing but zombie pills. I will NEVER take any again.

Yes i've tried lexapro before also my docs are reluctant for me to cross taper from zoloft, they are much more keen on this 'wait and see' approach. Which is great for everyone but me.

You have nothing on your profile to say what illness you have, so hard to answer. My thought to you is don't take so many, ZOMBIE is cool the living dead, as to no medication perminently DEAD

My memory is awful and I am only on 25mg! I think the other meds are having an effect on that too though for me

Is 200mg too high for you?

SSRI cross taper to ssri is magic no dtox and no start up , just no next day if it will work or not , not 3 months detoxing and restart side effects
