I had a bad incident in my life about 5 years ago and I became very depressed. I went to the doctor and he put me on antidepressants. I found them to be very strong. I would go into work and I literally couldn't remember things. I couldn't remember where I had put things. My memory was really fuzzy. I began to feel like my mind was in a bit of a fog, so I came off them with doctors agreement
Anyway after I came off them , I just feel like my mind is not the same as it was.
In that I feel that I have lost some cognitive skills.
One main example is this: I used to be really excellent at writing English
. Now I write quite disjointedly. I can't remember where commas go for example. And my sentences aren't as coherent as they used to be. I feel like my written English isn't great anymore. I've lost writing skills.
Has this happened to anyone else?
