I haven't been diagnosed with schizoprenia, (my new doc is having me go in for a psych eval, she's the first one I've told about my hallucinations), I've experienced a lot of the things people talk about on here but one thing I haven't read much about is memory loss. I can watch the same movies over and over again because I don't remember them, even significant things sometimes like main characters dying. I have to cram the night before tests because else I won't remember what I study, I don't remember most of my childhood/teenage years, unless it was something I percieved as traumatizing. I have trouble reading books, sometimes I get stuck on a page and will keep readin git over and over, and once I notice it happening I will try to focus while I read it and still not be able to comprehend. And I can get halfway through a novel, start up the next day and not remember who the characters are or what happened in the book. I use to be really good at math (was in Calculus as a Freshman in Highschool), now I remember none of it and have trouble with even simple math. Has anyone else ever experienced these issues. I still have them, even though the meds I've been taking for a year have taken away the hallucinations.

What medication are you taking? Have you tried googling to see if memory problems are a side effect?

I experience all those kinds of memory loss, everyday. Also, when talking to someone or if I do something. I can forget it 5 minutes later. :/

Also, with teenage, and childhood years, I don't remember stuff, like you said about yourself. I hate it only because my father will get me to remember stuff, and ask me over and over. It's gets on my nerves like no other.

I have a lot of memory loss. There are times that I don't know where I am at or even what date or day of the week it is. I get very disoriented. When I am having psychosis it is far worse. I don't remember where I have been or what I did during the day. My long term memory is far better than my short term memory. I am able to remember at times some insignificant detail from years ago that other people don't remember that well. For me I've had the memory problems before taking my pills so its not my meds that are causing it. I am 28 years young so it might be my age. In fact I already get hot flashes! Of course it might be anxiety that is causing the hot flashes but I like to say its my age so I feel old. I also don't recognize people when I see them. I do recognize my family though. If I see my friends outside the normal place of seeing them I wouldn't know who they are.

I've had the memory problems for as long as I can remember. Long before I started meds. Right now I'm taking Zoloft (OCD and Panic Disorder) and Wellbutrin was added a year ago to help with Depression. The Wellbutrin is what took away the hallucinations. I thought I was dealing with them well and that I knew what was real and what wasn't. After I started the Wellbutrin they all went away and now I feel confused and scared, and how could I be so far out of it that I didn't recognize what was real and what wasn't.
