OK I have been taking Cymbalta for now almost 3 months, It has somehow helped me with my GAD / OCD. I have less panic attacks, I feel somehow better. The problem is I have the worse memory ever, I forget where i put things, i wake up half asleep and i forget if i turned off my alarm and other things, like for God's sake I forgot my Iphone password :(. I mean is not big stuff I remember my assigments and important things, but all other little I forget!! its annoying. I have also cloudy thinking and like confusion. Sometimes it goes sometimes i feel it more. I went to the doctor and he kind of told me I was a crying for nothing and it was normal and things would go away. Now I have never in my life , even with the worse anxiety and panic attacks 24/7 forgot anything like things, even taking zoloft, paxil, lexapro or luvox. I have had panic attacks for like 3 weeks straight and I never forget one single thing , my fiance used to call me his memory map in Houston it took me one time to see the way to so place i remembered always . So I know this is not me, I searched online and I found many complains about memory, I feel scared and worried because I have going crazy OCD , so this just makes me feel worse and worry !! like I am going to end up forgetting more things?? is this going to ever go away?? I am taking 30mg of cymbalta. Is anyone here taking cymbalta ??? Have you had this low sodium memory problems??? Please I really need an honest opinion because my doctor literally told me cymbalta was like aspirin it worked for everything !! like i should just deal with it. I told my fiancee and he is studying cardio surgery , and he said I should just stop taking it , or ask for something else because this is not normal. I really don't know what do to do because i want to feel better so i can study, but i want my memory back and i don't want to feed my going crazy OCD with memory problems !!
Thank you for listening
