I also started to have much difficulty with my short term memory. got lost going to places I had been to many times, phone numbers,names,did not recognize my own kitchen for a few moments. I am easily lost and confused if there is too much sensory input as in driving or at a shopping center. My neurologist started me on zanaflex for the spasticity,bladder ,and memory problems and it has really helped me.anyone else out there have similar memory problems? I really can tell the difference when I miss a dose of zanaflex, thought I was going crazy. email me any time Hello, about how long after surgery did you start to have trouble?
