Lately I've been extremely absent-minded. Normally, i would blame it on the stress, but this is definitely something more. There have been several occasions over the past 2 weeks where I will be doing something, and in the middle of the task, I completely forget what that thing was.
Or I will have a thought, and less than a moment later I can't remember what that thought was, or even what it was about.
Most recently I've noticed that while driving I will suddenly lose my whereabouts and not know where I am. Or I will miss my turn going somewhere very familiar (like my mom's house), and then suddenly panic because I don't know where I am.
Anybody else experience anything like this?
I'm currently on Effexor 225mg
Clonazepam 0.5mg as needed 2x daily
Trazadone 50mg for sleep
Resperidone (a really low dose.. either 0.25 or 25mg, I can't remember) to combat the voices I hear. I take this one at bedtime too.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I have an appointment with my psychiatrist on October 29, and have been calling her desperately to move that up because my anxiety meds are no longer controlling my anxiety, as they once were. I will be sure to mention these blank-out moments to her too.
