I would just point out that depression becomes more of an illness of cognitive and memory impairments as one ages. I would consider increasing the Nardil to 60 mg/day to assess its value as an antidepressant. If your depression improves, it is likely that your memory will improve as well. Chronic anxiety creates the type of stress that can impact negatively the hippocampus - a brain structure involved in memory function. The bottom line is that it is very possible that continual depression and anxiety are causing your progressive memory impairments, even in the absence of drug side effects.

If you are considering being a discussant here or just interested in the claims made by posters here, I am requesting that you read the following article.
To see this article, bring up Google and type in:
[ Chris Kresser, the side of antidepressants ]
If you are a parent and are trying to decide as to drug your child in collaboration with a psychiatrist/doctor, this article could be used to start a dialog here in order for you to get the whole truth instead of just one person's advocating of mind-altering drugs to somehow cure or treat your child of depression and such. Be advised that I am trying to save lives here and prevent life-ruining conditions and addictions all the time working under prohibitions to me here from Mr. Hsiung that if those prohibitions were not made to me, I think that lives would not have been lost here, addictions could not have come to readers here, life-ruining conditions could have been avoided and readers could not be so easily persuaded to take these drugs being allowed to be promoted here that could induce suicidal thinking and thinking to commit mass-murder. The question is as to if the drugs can do this to a human being and there is much research to show what these chemicals in these drugs promoted here can do to a person's mind.
