Yes, a number of anti-depressants can cause memory issues (although moderate or severe issues wouldn't be typical and I'd see a doctor asap). My anti-depressant definitely causes me some issues with short term memory (I already struggle with memory as it is!) but for me, it is beneficial in every other way so I don't really get bothered by it. I can see how it would be really stressful for things like math though. If you suspect it might be causing you memory issues, I would recommend talking to a doctor/psych and maybe trying another one.
