Does Prodep For OCD Cause Memory Loss And Drowsiness?
Sir , I suffer from ocd and hence my doctor prescribed prodep 60mg ( 1 per day).

hi
if you feel that you are feeling better,even after abruptly stopping prodep, you do not have to worry
prodep causes drowsiness,due to which you feel that you are loosing memory power & intellect
in-spite of stopping without consulting your doctor, you can discuss with the treating psychiatrist regarding the problems,
or try to gradually stop from daily to alternate, then once in three days & then slowly stop.
all the best
take care
