Wonderful.Cheese Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I’ve been having some serious memory and cognitive issues for a while now. The other day I left out grocery bags of frozen food on the counter, walked away and 4 hours later saw the bags - still on the counter, food thawed out and had to be tossed away! This isn’t the first time that’s happened. I lose things all the time and can’t find anything that I leave laying around. I’m so spacey! I cant remember anything and have to write everything down that second or I’ll definitely forget! I’ve missed appointments. And more that I’m forgetting. Personally I fear my brain is rotting somehow. Could it be from my meds? Could it be from the klonopin? Or my 2 AAP combo? Do I ask my pdoc to reduce my meds even though I’m not feeling particularly well? I take 3 mg klonopin daily. I take 30 mg Abilify daily and 20 mg Zyprexa Zydis daily. Lamictal and topiramate for mood. Nuvigil for sleep disorders. Metformin for weight control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintalto Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Topiramate made me a space case and it made me feel quite a lot slower mentally. I’ve heard it called dopamax before because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notloki Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 All you need to do is tell your doctor about your memory problems, give examples. It is up to them to suss out what needs to be changed, if needs be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
