Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Poor concentration and forgetfulness is part of depression and that would improve with taking antidepressant. Effexor is better antidepresssant than lexapro and she would get benefit with it. Try to maintain the dose of effexor around 150mg. At that dose, you would get good response.

Thanks
