"nefazodone was finally the first antidepressant to work for me. unfortunately, six months into the treatment i started losing my memory and cognitive abilities. it&#039;s been six months since i&#039;ve stopped the nefazodone and i still haven&#039;t gotten my memory back fully. i&#039;m honestly scared right now because it feels permanent. i looked it up online and other people have gotten the same side effect. at first i chose memory loss over depression but then it got the point where if i just took my medicine i wouldn&#039;t remember if i took it or not. so i chose depression over memory loss. now i&#039;m depressed again and have memory loss."
