Hi! Just wanted to chime in and say that I have had anxiety for 7 years, and brain fog was my very first symptom and even to this day it persists. I have not yet been on medication so I know for sure it is definitely a symptom of anxiety, but it could be the medication as well if it arose when you started taking meds. Hope this helps! This is such a dreaded symptom!
