Hi There!

I was just wondering what your experiences are or knowledge is about lithium dulling your memory? I currently take 1200mg of lithium at night. I have found that my memory is frighteningly horrible.

Whether this is related or not, I'm unsure. It's extremely common for me to go somewhere & forget why I went there. I forget driving directions to places I've gone to millions of times before and it's getting to the point where I'm even forgetting routine tasks like brushing my teeth & eating breakfast!

This is extremely frustrating - particularly as a college student trying to study for exams! I always forget homework & assignments and if it's not written down on my hand I'll lose the paper or agenda book that its written down in!

So, is this really a side effect? & have you had these experiences yourself (or with a friend/loved one)?
