> thanksHi V,
I had those constantly before starting on the Effexor. I just stopped taking mine so I cannot help you on if its that but your not getting stupid. My memory was so bad last year that when I went to pick up some birth papers for my then two year old son, I couldn't remember his birthdate! Now that's getting bad. lol Please let me know if you find out what it is though, the doc just put me back on effexor so it would be interesting to know if I need to look out for this at some point as well. Q? What is topamax?
