Also, when writing a sentence, I often use the incorrect context. As well, I used to have a great memory. When starting a new job, I would just be shown once how to do something and be able to do it again, with no help. Now, I need to take notes and be shown repeatedly how to do the task.

Do you think its nerves? It's weird how you go from thinking too fast to not thinking at all with some medication.
How long have you been on your current dosage? Your body will try to counteract some of the side effects.
I'd try to work on some mind games to get yourself in the mode- I remember when I started out on my medicine- playing chess and scrabble helped me get my mind together. I was playing at a 4th grade level and just had to accept it, and have faith that my cognition would come back once I got on the optimal dosage.
How much sleep do you get?
