@candytoo. I will do some searching and see what I can find in the literature. It’s puzzling as I have not heard this before. Many years ago I experienced problems in word finding when I took an older antidepressant (this was in the 1990’s) and my psychiatrist at the time and I talked about it. Once the dose was lowered the word finding problems went away so these were temporary. But that was a different medication that affected brain cells in a different way than escitalopram.

That would be wonderful! Thank you! It appears that I am stuck on figuring this out myself. I have had these meds for months and have been unable to get myself to take them because I've convinced myself that they may harm my memory in some way.
