I have been taking Effexor XR 75 mg for 4-5 months, then I suffered from deterioration of my cognitive functions;as memory loss, slow thinking, difficulty in understanding written or spoken words, poor flow of ideas.
when these symptoms occured , I have decided to stop the drug but my symptoms have not improved .
Now I spend about 1 month and my intellectual functions is still impaired.
I searched about the effect of effexor on memory loss and I found it lowers acetylecholine level in the brain.
Then I thought to take acetylecholinesterase inhibitor as donepezil but I'm not sure about its role in my case.
Now I do not know what to do. I hope you could help me.
How can I get rid of this annoying symptom memory loss?
and can i take any medication to enhance my memory?
Please help me , my life now is hopeless..
