Sertraline doesn't produce any cognitive debilitation for me. In a study with elderly folks, it actually improved cognition. The SSRI's usually don't impair cognition much, if at all. When I was starting up fluvoxamine (Luvox), it made me terribly slow at work, but that disappeared once my brain got used to the drug.


Current meds: 10mg melitracene + 0.5mg flupentixol; sertraline 100mg; amitriptyline 25mg; gabapentin (Neurontin) 300mg; melatonin 0.3mg. PRN: diazepam (Valium) 2.5-5mg.
