Cognitive slowing due to SSRI is mentioned in literature. However, in clinical practice we find improved cognition with SSRI as they improve depression which itself causes cognitive slowing. If you are experiencing some issues with SSRIs, we can plan some better alternatives, depending upon your symptoms and you will improve.
