Forgetfulness on meds

I don't take Anti-depressed into anxiety medications, but I do take anti-seizure medications.
I used to have trouble remembering my medication, but now I use an automated pill dispensing machine which has an alarm on it, and can be set multiple times a day I haven't had any problems.
Take care,
Jake

I don’t forget my meds they are making me forgetful
Sorry for the miscommunication

Lexapro can cause forgetfulness. Its a known side effect.

Did the doctor say why he thought the dose was too low? Was it working? I tend to need lower doses of meds.

I would question the clonapin, despite its low dose. I was on a low dose of Valium daily and lost my short term memory, thankfully after it I stopped it on the recommendation on my neurologist and it cleared my system m p, my memory improved dramatically

After I reread your message, I see that it's very clear what you meant.
I guess after thousands of seizures, hundreds of thousands of seizure pills, and some comas I can't remember what you said from the time I read it to the time I posted. I know what you're up against as far as memory since nearly all seizure medicines cause memory problems. I've taken seizure medicines for 60 years so I guess I'm just used to forgetting so I accept it, if I forget fine if I remember fine. I guess it comes down to what a person needs most. I don't want to have seizures so I take it.
I would think you would be the best judge of whether or not you needed more medication to control your condition though. Remember you don't have to take the extra medicine. my doctor at one time had me taking 18 prescriptions. I stopped all but my seizure medication and I’m no worse off for doing it.
take care,

He felt the Lexapro was not working and thought he would increase it to see how I did

@jakedduck1
You take care too I wish I didn’t have to take any meds. That is my goal.🙏🏻

I think evan though medicine help people's symptoms..thier all bad for us one way or another. Sometimes the side effects are worse than the problem.If i had the insurance to pay for it. I would deffinitly incorporate Holistic health.
