Ritch and JohnSmith12345,
Thank you a bunch! P-babblers are the best! I'm still upset over the pdoc's lack of knowledge and intransigence, but I'll have something to open his eyes with. "Experts" are not always experts.
On Sheldon Preskorn's website concerning SSRI side effects, memory impairments are listed as being due to muscarinic cholinergic receptors, but nothing is listed for any of the specific SSRIs. Any sites that show affinities for the muscarinic cholinergic receptors for SSRIs, especially Lexapro?
I've also got anecdotal comments from previous Psychobabble posts, but the Pdoc rolled his eyes when I mentioned that lots of people described on Pbabble memory impairments on SSRIs. I'm aware that several have mentioned Risperdal or Zofran to reduce SSRI induced memory impairment, but it seems logical to try another SSRI first before adding another drug to negate a side effect, no?
Thanks! You guys have made my day!
Cairo
