My memory is definitely shot and there's a general confusion and inability to take things in and remember them. It's affecting my work. I don't feel 'doped up' on my medication though, if by that you mean groggy and zombie-ish.

I stopped drinking alcohol in August - and before I drank a LOT So I wonder if that is why I have zero memory.

In fairness, I feel it has got worse not since I stopped drinking in August, but since my latest 'episode' in September.

My pdoc says my brain is still trying to adjust to all of this and its early days.

I suppose I put it down to the illness itself (I think that accounts also for my lack of general clarity), and to medication.
