Anxiety medicine and memory loss

@candytoo All the information I found from reputable sources, including Mayo Clinic, webMD, etc., do not list memory loss as a possible side effect. I found it very interesting that the two places that indicated possible memory loss from Lexapro, were in fact addiction recovery centers. I do not consider them to be a reputable source.

Will this help allay your fears of memory loss and allow you to start taking this medication?

Hi and thank you! I have read webmd and mayo clinic and very well could have read the same recovery centers as you just read. I guess I was hoping for medical professionals to be able to answer or be consistent with their answers. I have talked to two walgreens pharmacists and one said they wouldn't take it and another said there is a risk with any meds. Neither were helpful. Really appreciate your time.
