Hello

Maryanne,
I do take plenty of medications and One of them includes Neurontin and the dosage has just been increased. I had also taken Elavil for a couple of months at bedtime. My neuro recently said to stop taking the Elavil and put me on Zanaflex. I also take ES Vicodin. I have other medical conditions and take a bunch of other meds. I believe that the combination of meds can cause forgetfulness. I also have the symptoms that Acme described. Oh and I have so much trouble concentrating. I can know longer do two things at the same time.
I just want to get better and me rid of these meds.
Take Care.
