In reply to What is causing my memory loss?, posted by DavidLA on January 1, 2015, at 8:18:03
first regarding meds:
1. Klonapin always makes me dumb as a box of hammers if i take it longer than a week.
2. high levels of the 'fight or flight' hormones will affect memory so the anxiety itself will affect you
3. also depression can and ADHD can also affect short term memory.i have not experience with Nardil.
and ambien would affect memory only while you are on it. has short half life and shouldnt affect most day time. However if you are taking higher than normal dose or for long period of time, this definately would affect memory.
does it seem more like short term memory issues? or long term memory issues.
if its the latter i might suggest other issues going on.
if short term, could be any of the above mentioned. (including ambien as folks respond differently to meds?
