Does fluoxetine make you stupid?

[LastingLight]

Everybody who takes or has taken fluoxetine, did it impair your cognitive functioning, i.e. problems with attention, memory etc.?

It has not had that effect on me.

Not that I'm aware of. It works well for me.
Are you thinking it may be affecting you in that way?

It can make me tired and fuzzy headed when I first go on it. But no not stupid. Well, no more than usual.

Why do you ask?

Not for me tbh though at times I did feel a bit cloudy, I found that to be a general symptom of my depression anyway.

Medication and depression effects everyone differently

Worked well for me. Used for about 4 yrs. citralopram(?) was not my friend however.

Since I've started taking fluoxetine my mood has been stable but I battle with cognitive functioning. This may still be a symptom of my depression though.

I have this. Thought it was the meds but it's apparently a symptom of depression. I can forget what I'm working on in the middle of writing an email about that cry subject.

It's another downside of depression hell!

• that very subject.

Odd typo given the subject!

I was on it a few years ago and my memory was terrible!
I used to walk into town and completely forget what I needed to buy. I was forever losing keys, I lost my house keys and regularly locked my car keys in my car.
I was on it for 18 months while I had pnd but even with the terrible memory problems it was worth it to get better.
