Hi and welcome.
As you probably know, everyone reacts differently to every medication on the market.
I also have bad reactions to SSRI and have found it takes me about 6 months to feel OK, never great though.
I personally think I have some permanent damage like you do. Mainly memory, speech (I now stumble over my words), bad concentration and fatigue. Very similar to what you are describing.
For me it's been 3 years since I took my last SSRI which was Zoloft. I have tried most SSRI/SNRI's I hate them.
There are some amazing people on here with fantastic knowledge, I hope they can help you.
I've been taking concentrated fish oil, which I do feel helps. I also take magnesium, vitamin D and CoQ 10 enzyme, all for hopefully restoring my memory one day.
One thing you have to remember is that this is just my experience. Even though those particular medications never helped me, they do help others.
Good luck in your search, I hope you find something.
