Hello everyone. I was just wondering if any of you that take meds noticed any problems with memory. I don’t know if it’s old age (but I’m only 30), or juggling too many things at once (family, bills, work, ocd, etc) but Ive been noticing in the past few years that I can be very forgetfull.So much so that I have to write everything down in a little book or I might forget.Last night I was remembering 4 things I had to do for this week but I was too tired to write it in my book so today I can’t remeber 2 of the things I was soposed to do. And I was repeating over and over in my head last night so i could memerize the 4 things and not have to get out of bed to write it down. So yea, Im frustrated that I tried hard to memerize it and I can’t remember 2 of the things in my mental list. I have a feeling it could be my meds because I don’t remember having this problem before 2004. I started taking Zoloft and xanax in 2004 and I used to take ambien and another sleeping pill but i stopped cause I don’t want to rely on sleeping pills. I just wanna know if others have this problem so I can know the reason for it cause I wasn’t always like this. My 2 sons even joke about it cause they know how i am. for instance if they tell me about a school event a certain day or something, I tell them to make sure I write it down or remind me again later, then they’d remind me in the future and I don’t remember what they are taking about.Its frustrating:dizzy: But having a notebook in my purse at all times really help and makes me feel organized. The question is:

Does anyone else take meds and feel like it affected there memory?

    yep, memory problems here too. my ocd and or meds make me so tired and groggy i have always assumed that’s it, but i read something lately. serentonin is responsibly for body temperature regulation and memory so i think that’s why i’m always so cold and my memory sucks.
