Before I ever started meds I was dyslexic and dyscalculic made things very hard and work almost impossible before they had treatments for those things. For years I've made little mistakes and though they drive me nuts I don't obsess about them the way I used to.

I've noticed recently that something else is going awry. One thing is either seeing posts I don't remember making and seeing or being told about making posts with adjectives in them that are the complete opposite of what I am wanting to use. I got quite aggressive with one person and insisted I hadn't used "that word". Another I was too embarrassed to say anything other than a few words (but was concerned about the word I used). And another someone questioned me gently on something which really shocked me that I'd written because I had written something about someone I admired, that gave a completely opposing view of that person.

I've had alzheimers assessment though a couple of people delight in trying to to tell me I have alzheimers because their aunties second cousins cleaner did the same thing 15 years ago. Though they are not qualified to diagnose, as I am not qualified to either.

I am also having black out type situations happening and then being told I've done things that I vow I haven't done. Does anyone have an opinion on it possibly being a side effect of medication? or not enough medication?
I am aware of peoples interpretation of things, perceptions and how they are implemented etc. I just want to work out what is happening, I'm really getting jacked with it

You should definitely go to your regular doctor and psychiatrist and tell them everything you are experiencing as soon as you can

I've had meds whose side effects caused some of the symptoms you described. I would definitely check it out with a doctor (maybe the one who prescribes your meds?).

I have no clue but I just wanted to offer my support to you while you find the answers you need. I can imagine how disconcerting it must be for you. Hopefully your doctors can help you sort this out. Did any of this ever happen to you before you starting taking any of the meds you are now taking?

It does sound neurological to me but I have no clue whether that is because of meds or not or something else; definitely go to your doctor(s).
