The fuzziness didn't exactly start before the depression (if not then just prior to it kicking into full swing). Its been six months since then. The first time I started Zoloft, the dose was too high (100mg, since I have taken it at 200mg before for OCD). This caused bad agitation, and I stopped after a week. A few months passed, during which the cognitive impairments persisted, while the sadness waxed and waned. I then started Prozac at 10mg. This also caused agitation and anxiety, so it was stopped after about a week. I then finally settled on Zoloft at 25mg, and have gradually built up to 100mg over the course of about 4 weeks. So far I haven't had any bad reactions to it, and it seems to be helping slightly. I do tend to miss doses now and then, which may be delaying the therapeutic effects.
Your responses have been helpful. I was beginning to wonder if I had some kind of brain tumor. Some other odd occurrences have been unexplained vertigo and a weird sort of conscious seizure that I had while trying to fall asleep one night. Lately I?ve also been getting a feeling of weakness and unreality when in social situations, and will occasionally start seeing stars.
