Memory Loss

This is scary. I swear, parts of my brain have been wiped clean.

I'm a firm believer in the benefits of Omega-3. There's lots in the news lately about how eating fish improves memory.

I've been slack for a few weeks with taking Omega-3. Gotta get back on track.

Parts of my memory are gone, too. It happened even before I started taking any mind drugs, when I had chronic fatigue syndrome. I got over the illness, but the cognitive part never came back completely. My balance is all screwed up; if I'm stooping over I'm just as likely to fall over.

I'm going to start taking Omega-3. I don't eat fish; I don't like the texture. If you say it's working for you, I'll try it, since we seem to be chemical sisters.

Odd side-effect of taking neurontin: since that one awful day, I've felt better than I have in years. I have energy, I feel healthy, I'm getting things done. I have to take it with food or I get dizzy, but otherwise, I feel great. I'm having fewer coughing fits, so it's so far, so good.

Stopped Lexapro cold a year ago, because I didn't know any better. Then I was a pretty, thin 28yo woman. Now I am 40 lbs. heavier with a hideous brown rash all over my shoulder, chest, arm and back. Memory's much worse too.

It sucks.

Leetie, how are you doing? I've been doing great, if you don't count two colds, a sinus infection, and a UTI, all within two weeks. The colds cause my cough to come back full force, but I was doing so much better pre-colds that I'm pretty sure Neurontin is going to help a LOT.

Hi, my name is Athena. I'm not sure that any one is reading this after so long. I may ahve fund you do late. What ever happened to your colds and Neurontin problems? I was on lexipro for 10 mos. Stopped cold turkey. I thought the worst was over when the electrical surges stopped. Then I got "dumb" forgetting things I'd just spent all week studying for exams. My test scors have plummeted. I lose words. I am stranger than ever to people. I cry a lot. I think a lot about the releif of death and the rightness of it, I'm lonely now. My doctor just shrugged it off and said, "It's not like it's life threatening!" I then did'nt want to tell him about my suicidal thoughts. I thought that was pretty life threatening though. i can't think real good. any way, I hope you are ok.

I started taking bovine thyroid capsules because my body temperature was very low, and I was feeling really bad every morning when I first wake up. Bovine thyroid capsules have helped my body to function better, and I now have close to normal body temperature and feeling much better!
