Yes. Be checked for : Other causes of forgetfulness. These could include B12 and folate deficiencies, low free t3 (liothyronine) or low t4, lyme's disease, anemia, and a whole host of other possibilities. If nothing else is found, your dr may wish to lower down one or the other antidepressants. If you supplement with b12, use the form called methylcobamine, and if you supplement folate, use l- methyl folate instead of folic acid.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
