I haven't been diagnosed with schizoprenia, (my new doc is having me go in for a psych eval, she's the first one I've told about my hallucinations), I've experienced a lot of the things people talk about on here but one thing I haven't read much about is memory loss. I can watch the same movies over and over again because I don't remember them, even significant things sometimes like main characters dying. I have to cram the night before tests because else I won't remember what I study, I don't remember most of my childhood/teenage years, unless it was something I percieved as traumatizing. I have trouble reading books, sometimes I get stuck on a page and will keep readin git over and over, and once I notice it happening I will try to focus while I read it and still not be able to comprehend. And I can get halfway through a novel, start up the next day and not remember who the characters are or what happened in the book. I use to be really good at math (was in Calculus as a Freshman in Highschool), now I remember none of it and have trouble with even simple math. Has anyone else ever experienced these issues. I still have them, even though the meds I've been taking for a year have taken away the hallucinations.
