Loss of long and short term memory due to seizures and medications

Hi, @bruceg - so sorry to hear that effects of the seizures and meds have all but destroyed your long term memory, interfering with your ability to run your company and encroaching on your participation in your family as you'd wish. I'd have a hard time if the doctor told me my memory would not improve if I'd had losses.
I'd also like to invite @viviannejam @595959 @pamelastewart5 @chynex @rachelskaug @menville into this conversation to see if they have any experiences they might share with losing short and/or long-term memory from seizures and side effects from anti-seizure medications.

Just because a doctor tells you your memory condition probably won’t change that doesn’t mean you’re memories can’t improve. I think I said earlier that a speech pathologist helped my with my memory and I’ve taken about 300,000 seizure medications and had over 13,300 seizures, severe ones at that. So if they can help me hopefully you can see some improvement as well. It definitely won’t be easy but nothing worthwhile is. Stay positive, stress, anxiety and depression also damage the memory.
