Wild Coyote mentioned it obliquely, but it bears repeating: depression, itself, plays havoc with the memory.

I am of the opinion that it's more often the depression which impacts the memory than some pharmaceutical.
Of course, I'm also an ECT patient undergoing maintenance treatment. If you want to talk about memory problems...
