i had horrid problems with elavil back in the 80s.....same thing you're talking about. getting off of it helped me tremendously.

as far as improving your memory...i think i've helped mine by doing any and all "puzzles" that i find......mind tricks.....mazes...anything that "stretches" the brain. i've made a real effort and i can see a change.......also SLEEP is BIG.........xoxoxo pat
