Anyone Experiencing Side Effects Of Long Term Use Of Psych Medication, Such As Confusion, Forgetfulness, Etc.

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Michigan City, IN

Just wondering if that's the cause...psych meds. I've been on them (many different ones) for nearly 20 years for major depressive disorder and anxiety. I am 40 years old and the last couple years have seemed cloudy for me. I am definitely not as sharp as I used to be! Currently on Viibryd, Abilify and Provigil. Thank you in advance!

How Great A Part Has Exhaustion Played In Your Illness?

Pictou, NS
