I am currently taking 40g of paxil. I am experiencing short term memory loss. I will be on my way to do something and then I will forget what I was going to do. This seems to just have happened after increasing my dose. Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi,

yes my sister takes paxil (not sure about the dose) and she forgets all the time. I also experienced memory loss with prozac and cipralex. My mind just goes completely blank and I wont be able to remember what I need till along time afterwards!

Does anybody know why and how these drugs causes memory loss?
