Why is my current medication regimen of D veniz 100 mg, Serta 50 mg, Mirtazapine 7.5 mg, and Clonazepam 0.5 mg causing forgetfulness and making it hard for me to do my work when my previous treatment of Devine 100 and Anxazap 20 worked well, and how can I find out what my main health problem actually is?
It is completely understandable to feel frustrated when changes to your treatment affect your memory and daily work. Your previous regimen of D veniz (desvenlafaxine) and Anxazap (oxazepam) was simpler. Your new combination adds Serta (sertraline), mirtazapine, and clonazepam. Clonazepam and mirtazapine are known to cause drowsiness and mild forgetfulness, which likely explains your symptoms. To understand your primary diagnosis, I highly recommend discussing your symptoms and history with your psychiatrist. They can review these medications, safely adjust them to reduce cognitive side effects, and clarify your diagnosis. You don't have to struggle through this; your doctor can help you find the right balance.
