To start, I am a female in my 20's. I take 40mg of Adderall XR, 450mg of Wellbutrin XL and am currently being weened off of Celexa. In the past week I went from 300mg to 450mg of Wellbutrin and my Doctor is weening me off of 40mg of Celexa.
I am having memory problems. My memory problems have been consistent for the past 4 months. I am unable to isolate a set of factors other than I believe that the problems occured shortly after I began 40mg of Celexa. I only know how to verbalize my problem as short term memory loss. When I explain something to someone, or am telling a story, I unknowingly leave out key details. Not on purpose of course, but I guess I unconsciously I think they already know these details. Or I forget things I need to do, even though I write it down in my planner. I'll walk into a room and completely forget why I walked in there. I know that happens to everybody, but for me it is part of my everyday life. It is extremely frustrating and I don't know what to do to fix it.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, for how long and how did you remedy it?
Has anyone experienced extremely rapid heart rate, over 100 beats per minute on any of these medications?
Has anyone experienced mild chest pain form any of these medications?
Please help me. I would appreciate any advice, stories, websites. ETC.
Thank you
