I was wondering if my memory loss/forgetfulness was due to the bipolar or the meds that I am taking(Effexor and lithium) or is it both? This is a real problem for me. Any thoughts or answers would be greatly appreciated!
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Hedge,
If it is the lithium, and it works so well for me, do you think it is worth trying something else? Or should I just stick with the the memory loss? Oh, what to do! Thanks for the reply!

I personally think that antidepressants cause memory loss/forgetfulness, too...

Oh my gosh, I am doomed! Now I know why Hedge is off the meds! I don't think I could handle that at this point in my life. I guess I will have to deal. Thanks for your reply Fineanddandy!

Hi D25,
Talk to your Doc and ask if they can reduce your Lithium by a small amount. That did make a difference for ME. Try to find a balance between the Lithium and the memory problems/confusion.

Thanks Hedge, I am going to do that. Any remedies for sleeping? I have only slept 2-4 hours a night for about a week now. I just can't stay asleep.
