[QUOTE=manicmonday!;3671642]I have bipolar, PTSD, and borderline personality and have late on-set epilepsy. Currently I'm not on any medication. I've never had a GREAT memory, but it certainly has been better. I started a clutter of meds when I was 18 for depression....started having seizures when I was 19....more meds. Anybody else have memory issues after starting meds? Any advice? Maybe it was the seizures that started the memory lapses? :/
It makes me sad that I can't remember some things in the next second. [/QUOTE

Yes! I have fibromyalgia which causes brain fog, DID where I lose time or one person will do.something the other doesn't remember, and I'm on topomax. Topomax has nicknames like stupidmax and dopomax because it causes such cognitive issues.
I keep trying to wean off the topomax but then my migraines get so bad life isn't worth living. So I go through life looking really stupie. I even got arrested dor driving on drugs because the state patrol thought I was on something after my car slipped off the highway on some ice. I couldn't say my ABC's backwards without singing them and I "talked to slow." I was in jail for hours befors they dropped the charges.
