hey guys, I was diagnosed with short term memory back in high school...teachers were made aware of this issue & I was given extra time to take tests/study.

For instance, I couldnt even remember the name of a movie I saw with my friend two days ago or our conversation....sometimes conversations hours after they have occurred. is there anythinng I can do to help improve my memory???

until we did a lifestyle change (moving to a new area). He has developed anxiety which we think is secondary to the short-term memory loss. We think the memory loss has increased, but it's kind of mixed up with the anxiety. We HOPE the memory loss is directly related to the Ambien, and being off of it will he return to 'normal'? We can deal with the anxiety, but not the memory loss.

It is still very early in your moms recovery. I would say the short term memory will get better, but, how much is anyones guess. My husbands doctors never once said anything about Alzheimers. Find out what areas of your moms brain was hit. The hippocampus controls short term memory. If she was hit there, that's probably the reason for the short term memory.
I have a severe difficulty staying focused. To the point where I can be having a conversation with somebody and the minute they turn around, I forget everything. I am afraid it is affecting my schooling as well. I can't remember much. Its like I have no short-term memory. what would you suggest I do? What type of medication can help me stay alert?
Beatrice,
I had a brain tumor removed back in 99 and in 01. My short term memory is bad to say the least. I have drove to doctors appointments and didn't even know why I was there. It is now at the point where my doctor's call my wife and tell her everything because I will not remember. His short term memory might never get better but if he keeps repeating things enough it might make to into the section of the brain that controls long term memorys.

Although it may not be memory, it is the brain in general. For me, it is the absolute inability to focus on one task. A lot of the veterans here will say it takes time, but it will happen. They just reassured me to take baby steps, and only get done what you absolutely have to for the first month or two and steadily add more tasks as you feel comfortable. I'm at day 6ish of one of my millionith relapses.
Give your pharmacist a call, they will know if this is a possible side effect. If it's not, you really need to get in to see your Dr to find out what happened.
also told your PDoc about how you feel, he is the one who will be able to tell you if the way you feel is because of the meds you stop 3 weeks ago...
For the Seroquel, what is your dosage? I was on 25 mg for my insomnia and it stop working after 2 months so I had to increase to 50 mg and then 75 mg and I hit the 100 mg and my panic disorder and anxiety increase a lot when I reach that dosage... I stop the Seroquel more than 1 year ago and since then I sleep very bad...
I am 28 yrs old. I have IC. I have been having recent short term memory loss. I do not use drugs nor have I had any trauma. What might be the cause of this.

I can't remember things that I even did yesterday. worst part is that I do not have insurance to get to a doctor to have tests ran to receive help that I might need to help find out what I have going on.
Hi, Thank you very much for your question; although it is quite difficult for me to give you a precise diagnosis here without being able to examine you, though I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern. You need a proper assessment and investigation here since there can be many causes for memory loss & concentration impairment.

i am a 28yr old female. I do have IC. I have been having short term memory loss. I do not use any drugs nor have i had an head trauma nor do I take any medications. What might be causing this memory problem? The memory issue is something new. I cant even remember things that happened yesterday or even last week. I can remember things that are of major importance but nothing minor. I also have been having migraines yet I have dealt with migraines now for about 9 yrs. What could this be?
I'm 36, healthy, ideal weight and I find that my short term memory is depleting at a rapid rate. What can I do or take to help with this....I have tried the B12 liquid but I notice no change. This problem is getting really embarrassing at the point I must write everything down or I will forget.
