I am 42 years suffering from depression since last 20 years currently using 50 mg paroxetine, 300 mg lamictal and 10 mg buspin for anxiety. even though moodlevel improved to 60 percent of pre depression levels, cognitive impairment specially short term memory n fast processing of brain happened at the time of depression could not improve which is hampering my working skills that require good memory n quick thought process does not improve. Please suggest any add on medication that specifically address cognitive problems mentioned above. I used to have excellent memory and quick grasping before depressive episode. Please help.

You are under cover of good medicine with good doctor. What you can add is. To know the cause of depression. First with psychological testing like TAT or Rorschach with the help of clinical psychologist.& then based on that add Psychotherapy. If does not respond then Ketamine therapy is the best option - if available at your area if does not respond get treated with RTMS therapy - a latest therapy for depression without medicine - go to google for details if not available then go for electric shock therapy - recovery in short time if not available then hypnotherapy etc.
