long term memory stored brain

Hey Dennis, I think your putting together two very different issues, i'm pretty sure they are both basically related to 'working memory' deficits but word recall is stored in our long term working memory bank and forgetting where you put something, would be stored in our short term working memory bank.

What you are describing very well could be MS related memory problems. Several months ago I had a Neuro Psych Testing done and the doctor explained what is happening in my brain due to the MS. It is a general slowing of the processing of information in the brain.

My short term memory is not 100% as it is, although it is not as bad as my long term memory, and when my blood pressure is really high ( 160/100+ ) I seem to have short term memory loss that increases with the increasing blood pressure numbers. Is this a direct side effect of high blood pressure, others with hypertension having suggested it effects their short term memory, or is it confined only to myself because of my memory problems?

Although I have no problem remembering facts and figures and my short term memory is better than most, I have no long term memory of events. I know it's normal not to remember childhood, but I don't remember high school or college or anything I did there. In fact, my oldest memory is looking outside and seeing chairs on the lawn at my mom's birthday. That was two weeks ago and there only seems to be a vague, blank space before it. Memories just fade after a few weeks.

How long term? 6 months to a year is not that long to be on it, but if you are thinking like 5 to 10 years is more longer term. It is all definitely possible if it is needed, some times a drug will lose its ability to work after a while so has to be changed with another but I think if it works now then that's great and don't worry about the future to much, what will happen will happen. Sorry don't know about the memory and side effects long term.

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.

It is basically a softening of the brain matter as a result of an ischemia or infarction, degenerative changes, infection, craniocerebral trauma, or other injury. Thus any damage to this lobe can lead to long term memory loss. Certain types of epilepsies and seizures and sleep disturbances too cause short term memory loss along with tiredness or fatigue. Chronic infections too are known to precipitate memory loss. For this you can try yoga and meditation.

Ambien absolutely can cause memory loss, more commonly short-term issues, but also some people have reported problems with their long term memory as well. The good news is...if other causes have been ruled out, and Ambien seems to be the culprit, the memory issues will resolve most times after the Ambien is safely tapered.

Hi, Amnesia is loss of ability to memorise information and / or to recall information stored in memory. Amnesia is most commonly associated with either brain damage through injury or degeneration of brain cells in dementia. In both cases, brain cells are lost, and due to the complex network connecting cells within the human brain, they cannot be replaced. Most significant brain damage occurs when the brain is injured, such as in a car accident or as the result of a fall or blow.

I read that Zoloft can cause permanent brain damage/memory loss after long term use... is this true?? That's scary...

t working, the memory will go ahead and get stored in the long-term memory, and I can access it later. Like you with the car - you looked at it and it didn't look like your car. An hour later it did.

Hello, I am wondering if anybody has a suggestion of medications that work to help with memory problems associated with SCT that will not cause more memory problems or possible brain damage with long term use?

Those would be long term memories. If you really are at a complete loss for many long term memories then that may not be depression, but a completly different Neurological dissorder that is effecting your memory. I would first start by seeing a good neurologist about this. You need to rule out any other diseases of the brain that could cause such memory loss. You can trust me though, Even the worst depression won't wipe out long term memory.
