> I have been chronically depressed for 51/2 years now. I have tried just about every antidepressant on the market and nothing has worked for me except for Parnate. My main problem with most of the AD's i have tried is they all make the brain fog much worse. Things outside of my head simply make no connection. Someone can speak to me, and it's as if they are speaking in Spanish. I simply can not follow the conversation. This is very embaressing, not to mention worrisome especially since I know that I am reasonably intelligent. When taking AD's the world around me seems as if I am in a dream world, and words that I read are simply jumbled letters. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this while taking medication or not. Thanks for your time. ~Sharon
Hi. I'm really glad I found this group. For the longest time i thought I was the only one. I can't think clearly, never could. I can't reason or solve problems. Sometimes it feels like there's nothing in my head. I get foggy, can't concentrate or remember, lose track of my own thoughts, etc. I get yelled at so much at work it's amazing I haven't been fired. For the longest time I always just thought I was stupid, but only now do I realize that there's really something wrong and it isn't just stupidity. I started taking zoloft a week ago in hopes of ridding myself of the depression and, in that, the brain fog. But, like you said, it just seems to be making things worse. I screw up SO much at work even ont he simplest of tasks. Can this really go on forever?
Anyway, you're not alone.
