Selexa side effects
by Tricia061, Apr 09, 2008 06:24PM
My question is recently my mother was switched over from Zoloft to Selexa. In this last week, she has become completely confused on what day of the week it is, where she is, what month it is etc. She is also reciting the alphabet, counting numbers, reciting colors all just out of nowhere. In the middle of a conversation, she just starts saying different holidays, like July 4th, Memorial Day, Christmas, etc. Could the switch to this Selexa from Zoloft do this to her?
Thanks

It shouldn't make this big of a difference as both Zoloft and Celexa are SSRI medications. I am wondering, though, if the dosage is too high - by the way, your mother wouldn't be taking the Celexa as well as the remaining Zoloft simultaneously? Of course, every "body" is different and each person reacts differently to the medication. The examples you have listed are common to people with dementia - you really should contact your mother's physician.
