Default Those taking Gabapentin

There is an AARP article entitled "10 Drugs that cause Memory Loss".

No. 3 is antiseizure drugs: Gabapentin, etc. It was mentioned that an alternative medication is EFFEXOR. More and more articles I read that anti-depressant medicines can help chronic nerve pain. Gabapentin, afterall does not do anything to help the nerves. It only dampens the signal in the central nervous system.

I have been holding off taking the antidepressant medications as i am concerned of the "double whammy" of Gabapentin and antidepressants to my memory.

Anybody using Effexor with success, even at a minimum level? I am willing to forego the Gabapentin if necessary.
