Cognitive/memory suffering as a side effect of drugs
Hi there,
I need help figuring out if it's one of my meds that is causing memory problems. I've never been amazing with names, but just recently I will almost always forget someone's name during a conversation and after trying to recall what it was and usually failing, I'll have trouble picking up from where I left off in the conversation. It's really frustrating, especially when it makes you look a bit dim to a potential gf! Here's the list of drugs that I'm taking (total per day): Lyrica 450mg Amitriptyline 25mg Penecillin V 500mg Probanthine 45mg Asprin 75mg I'm thinking it's the Lyrica but it works too well on the neuro pain to experiment with. The Amitriptyline was prescribed because I was told 'it works well with the lyrica' to help with the pain, but I don't think it's actually doing anything. I might just stop taking it and see what happens, I'm on a fairly low dose so withdrawl shouldn't be a problem. The others I'm not sure on.. If it is the lyrica causing this, is there anything I can do to combat this side effect?
