Does anyone experience memory loss on Pristiq?

I had great benefits from Pristiq till I didn’t. Weaning off was tough. It took about 4 weeks to stop a 50mg dose that I was on for less than two months. Prior to that, I was on 25mg for about 6 months. While on it, I would have memory lapses but I could start to recall fairly shortly. Now, I lose a thought mid sentence. I can’t remember simple words mid sentence and rarely recall what I was going to say. To remember to do simple tasks out of a routine is impossible.

This is a side effect that must be reported to your DR. asap:

"low blood sodium - headache, confusion, problems with thinking or memory, weakness, feeling unsteady."

Was on pristiq 25mg for 15 years. Definitely some slow brain function with it. Worked great but a nightmare to quit. You can't split it.

I’ve been on Pristiq as well as a few other related drugs. They all seem to give me a little brain fog and memory loss. I sometimes have a hard time thinking of the right word to use or remembering what I did last. Not sure if memory loss is an official side effect but it is definitely a side effect for me. Only way I’ve managed it is to keep myself more alert during the day - I drink strong coffee and take vitamins and B12 shots for energy. The higher energy tends to stave off the memory issues while I’m working.
