I'm really starting to worry about some weirdnesses I've noticed in the past couple months in my thinking/speaking. I've been forgetting things like the names of musicians whose albums I have; old poems and such that I had memorized; small things people have just told me a few minutes beforehand. I've also noticed that sometimes I'll be thinking one word and another will come out of my mouth. I've noticed this in writing, too- I'll be aiming to write one word, and I'll mix up the letters or write another word. And I even started to stammer a little the other day, which I've never done before. I'm wondering if these disturbing things might be a bad side effect of 187.5 mg a day of Effexor (or the Effexor and 6 years of Zoloft before it). And of course, I'm scared I have Alzheimers (I'm 36; no early-onset Alzheimers in my family).
It could be stress, I guess- but I'm not under a lot of stress right now, and I exercise a lot and try not to be a stress monkey.
Made an appointment with my psychdoc, but it's for next month- he's booked til then.
Any thoughts, y'all? Thanks.
