What is it like to experience forgetfulness and trouble finding their words after being on antidepressant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I'm not sure I : Understand your question & other doctors may not as well, but memory loss or difficulty finding words should not be from taking an antidepressant. Since I am not a physician ask the prescribing physician if these could be side effects for the specific antidepressant. Depression might impact on memory, but word loss would make me consider having the person speak to a physician or a neurologist.
