I hear you on the cognitive issues. I am positive that psych meds cause memory problems. I can't even count the number of times I watch a show and I'm half-way through the season when suddenly one scene will trigger my vague, far away memory and I realize I've been watching a season I saw only a few months ago. Absolutely no recollection of any of it. It is an extremely unsettling feeling. Bringing a notebook is a smart idea.

I hear you on the memory thing too. Back when I was on more and the lamactil I had horrible memory. But when I’m depressed is the worse. Much worse than from the meds. I blame both bipolar and meds for my poor memory. I can’t even remember a phone number if I look it up, I have to write it down to dial it. And page numbers, they get all turned around I have to use bookmarks now.
