Sometimes it is hard to determine whether symptoms are due to fibromyalgia or are side effects of medication."depressants and muscle relaxants treat anxiety. Benzodiazepines such as Klonopin, Ativan, and Xanax, are commonly used medicines. These medicines also cause sedation and thus can improve sleep.

1580703 tn?1651904887 Hi! I have central sleep apnea/asthma which started it seems 2 years ago with chronic fatigue and O2 levels of about 73% (my FEV1 scores are also 73%). I'm worried my brain cells are dying and I'm having severe chronic fatigue, memory/ADD loss, headaches and sometimes vertigo. I have a neu cyst in my clivus. I've tried bipap with O2 but it doesn't work that well and I'm getting 0% stage 3/4 sleep. What caused my sleep apnea, memory/ADD problem and what can I possibly do?
Avatar n tn She did not improve in these areas, nor did her memory improve. Saturday of this week, she began again with the same symptoms, intense eye pain followed by pain to entire left side, confusion, loss of memory and loss of motor and language skills. Again she was initially diagnosed with stroke based on the CT scan until the MRI again came back negative. She is still in the hospital. While in the hospital this time she has had 2 recurrences of the symptoms.
Avatar f tn I recently quit cocaine 2 weeks ago after 2 years of cocaine use when I first noticed memory, learning, problem solving, and concentration impairments while performing job functions on the job.  My job requires alot of analytical thinking and analysis of information.  My average intake during those 2 years was 3 grams/week.  I became very nervous and stressed 2 weeks ago because the simplest assignments and tasks at work would confuse me.

1711722 tn?1356487554 For those learning to navigate this site, I posted a suggestion (in the MedHelp Suggestions) to have a link at the top of the Hep C forum page, on what newbies (like me) need to know about Hep C, along with how to use this site. Below is a link to the response I got from Moderator Emily. I hope the link she suggests is helpful to you: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Improve-MedHelp-Suggestions/How-to-navigate-this-site--suggested-link/show/1602705?
Avatar n tn I am 30 yr old professional now, but have a history of illicit drug use as an adolescent. Those drugs included moderate use of alcohol and marijuana. I had also abused acid, meth, cocaine, and huffed butane but not so much as to call a habit. I also boxed as an amateur off and on for the past 5 yrs. I have an incredibly bad short term memory issue to such an extent that I can't retain the info taken in for 30 sec to 1 min later. This is not with all subjects though.

2192208 tn?1346525832 Improving Memory or Cognitive Function - There are scientific evidence that G. biloba would be helpful. It is worth taking to see if it can improve memory and concentration in those suffering with memory problems. Not all results are positive, however. It seems that it might not be very effective for improving memory in people who don't have memory problems.
Avatar m tn But Sandra, is there any ways to improve his memory? Eat any particular type of food??
Avatar m tn ve done cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, and alcohol. My issue is that I feel like I have memory and cognitive issues due to my past drug use. I have since graduated from college and hold a computer related job. I do well in my job, but can't get over the past drug use and blaming it for my perceived inadequacies. I do brain training programs like mindfit, sudoku, read books, yoga, work out etc. I am literally trying everything I can to try and regain my sharp memory and cognitive skills.
Avatar n tn it is again a natural supplement ,this works on a sub-molecular level to improve Focus, concentration and memory , you can google it for more information.
Avatar n tn I have a problem remembering anything past a day, I have forgotten holidays and even my own birthday before. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to help improve this. I also wonder if this could possibly be a sign of having ADD.
