two years ago I was diagnosed as having 'dangerously high" cholesterol levels, and the very young woman prescribed medication for it (the name escapes me at the monent) which turned me into a zombie. Literally. After a week i called and told her I was going off the meds. She was horrified. Much of my memory now is gone, forever. I can remember stuff, but not necessarily recent things. Tell me you will be wearing a red scarf so I can find you in the crowd, and within minutes I have no memory of any of it. And the high cholesterol this year was considered 'normal' five years ago.

I would also recommend anyone being prescribed new meds to take it to Google for revaluation. Google has no stake in this, and will probably give you technical advice that a doctor won't. Most doctors these days are more concerned with how many pills you're taking, and how high your cholesterol levels are. And what kind of feedback they get from the folks who recommend meds for their patients.
Years ago I was battling reflux, and my doctor then recommended Zantac. I found a generic that worked as well, but when I told him he looked sad and said, "you really need Zantac". Which I translated into no, "no you don't but I get $omething extra from the drug companie$,,, turns out an apple before bed (and hold off on the chocolate and coffee after supper) works better than any drug out there.
