I'm looking for a treatment for SA and mild depression that will not exacerbate my (treatment resistant) ADD-I.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of or has experienced cognitive or memory problems taking lexapro.I work in a technical field and I'm pretty sensitive to things messing with my cognition and making me unable to work.
Thank you.

Been taking 2.5 sometimes 5mg of lexapro with 50mg of luvox and benzos and so far no. Phillipa

Any psychoactive drug can cause cognitive impairment. The risk is even there with drugs supposedly good for cognitive impairment. You just never know. Everyone's chemistry and underlying problems are so different. Me, a mere 1mg of lexapro gave severe cognitive impairment. Years ago when I had gotten it up to 5mg and then 10mg I was walking dumb. But for someone else it may make them feel sharper and better. You just have to listen to what your body is telling you.
