I find the medications tend to make me forgetful. I used to have a really good short term and long term memory. Now I find myself searching my brain for some of the simplest things. I am also on abilify 20mgs.

Yes, i think that's happen's to me too, but i also think that reduce's more the reasoning than the long-short term memory...

Not to take this too literally, but would you? How would anyone ever know that? The game is trial and error.

I can sit here and ask myself the same questions but it's not going to help me because I know I need the medications.

Only you may decide whether the medicine is to your benefit or not.

I met a person online who was on topimarate. I actually thought she was mentally challenged. Which was fine. But then she switched meds and she was suddenly a "normal" person. That felt quite odd to me, but I guess it was the meds all the time.

The main reason I decided to taper off clonazepam, was short term memory problems.


After my concussion I had to do some testing, and the results showed that my memory and cognitive functioning were impaired.

I don't know if it's from the fall, the years on meds, or the years spent pickling my brain with alcohol.

I find certain meds make me feel "stupid". I have no concentration and feel limited in what my brain can process.
