My mind is like a strainer. Information comes it, and it goes out. I had OCD so bad in high school that I didn't attend, so it is hard to say if this problem existed before I started taking psyche meds. I am on lithium 1500. I had a huge 6 months longs manic episode on 900, which is why it is so high. I like the med but I am not sure why I can't retain information. Any help?
