Oh my gosh Dixie gal, this sounds so much like me. I've been trying to go off of Effexor and when I kept having side effects, my primary Dr. referred to to a psych Dr. He decided that I'm Bi-polar. This after 42 years of masking it? Anyway, he put me on Topamax 3x's a day, to which I forgot everyday words, now I'm on Lamictal and I'm having awful headaches and blurred vision, plus now I'm really depressed!
Thanks for your story--now I'm going to go see about some HRT's--which is what I think I needed all along.
