Definitely bring it up with your doc. I was on anti-depressants a long time (misdiagnosed), but basically if it was out there, I was on it at one point. I don't remember which med it was, but one of the ADs kept making me forgetful and forgetting words commonly used. I was in graduate school, a teaching & research assistant. I taught a few sections of microbiology lab. I remember one really bad day teaching (and teaching was my favorite part of the job, not the research), I couldn't remember the names of even the most basic of lab equipement like beakers, loops (very commonly used to culture bacterial petri dishes), agar, etc. It was awful! I also tend to have a good memory, especially when feeling well. My pdoc took me off the med, and the forgetfulness disappeared. I have noticed some forgetfulness on other meds, not that bad though and it could be related to lack of sleep or anxiety.
