I've suffered from Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Attacks (PA's) and even had a nervous breakdown about 8 years ago (no fun!) and during periods of anxiety or stress, I know it affects my short-term memory quite a bit as well as other pesonality features such as not knowing which word goes where so I end up stammering through a sentence, etc. I think this is perfectly normal. What meds are you on (if any) at the moment and which ones have you tried for your anxiety?. I used to take Buspar but it did very little for me and now I just take a Lorazepam or Xanax as needed.
