> I've had an eeg...and it showed up nothing..I did have a feeling of pressure being applied to my brain but it seemed to occur when I came off ssri's..and it then seemed to subside..in a few weeks.. I have horrible brain fog..I can't seem to think..especially while writing and essay I just can't gather my thoughts..they just aren't there..it's like there locked up in a box and won't come out...That is all..you're symptoms you'd described just sounded really familiar.. Have you seen a specialist about this..i'm sure he could tell you the possible causes of this pressure you speak of.. did this happen after you came off ssri's?? Or durring ssri treatment??

>I was on 200mg of zoloft for at least a few years as a teenager, and went off cold turky before going to college. The worst withdrawals I got were irritability and anxeity. The head fuzziness and serious brain fog started around a year and a half later. Its been happening more or less every day for the last 10 months. I've seen a specialist, but all he's said is that he thinks its "physiological" and not a tumor.
Huzzah. What a breakthrough.
An important thing to keep in mind is that there are many, many things that can cause brain fog. I've read accounts that are very similar to mine, which range from sinus infections, to migraine disorders, to dietary defficiencies.
