Hey Chai,
Short term memory problems are a VERY common side effect of many psych meds. I don't know of any drugs or remedies that help for that condition - except to switch meds or to not take them.
Since I quit everything a few weeks ago, I have not had short term memory problems (but have other cognitive issues). I'm now on Buspar (and small Xanax dose for short term)- both of which can also cause STMP according to some - just haven't seen it yet.
It's rough going back to school at that age for any of us ;) STill, you are very young and shouldn't have so much trouble retaining infor.
Is it only the stuff that doesn't interest you, or is it in general?
