bluemountains, please do make a bigger deal about it to your psychiatrist. Sometimes if it is just a passing mention they let the topic pass. I've had some major side effects that my psychiatrist brushed off until I REALLY told him it was a big deal for me.

As another poster said, your memory issues could be from various things. It's good to figure out what they stem from. I have had memory issues because of my mood disorder, and even some minor issues because of dissociation. The worst were from the mood episodes themselves and not medications, in my case. If your doctor suggests you see another type of doctor, I'd do it.
