ABSTRACT
We saw a 73-year-old woman, diagnosed with a recurrent depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Escitalopram had been started by her general practitioner more than seven weeks ago. It was not effective, and was therefore tapered with the aim of starting a different antidepressant. During tapering acute memory problems occurred, presumed to be atypical transient global amnesia. Here we highlight the psychiatric, pharmacological and neurological considerations and differential diagnosis of acute memory disorders.
