In reply to ssri's effect on cognitive functioning???, posted by Mike Lynch on March 31, 2004, at 23:35:16
Hi Mike, your syntoms are very similar to mine.
The only things that was useful for me in the long term was Anafranil (Clomipramine). If you have adhd, and it seems you have it, TCAs can be very useful and you don't have to wait 2 or 3 weeks. I think the key for this kind of problem is NE-reuptake, and note that also Paxil seems to have (mild) NE-reuptake properties. I responded very poorly to SSRIs, and this is not a surprise, because they're not (generally) indicated for ADHD-like syntoms. Now I'm on Zoloft because I'm a sucker but I'm quite sure it won't do almost anything. Take Care, hope this helps
