In reply to Nardil Memory Loss-PLEASE HELP!!!!!!, posted by shrimp on July 26, 2003, at 22:00:56
> I have been on 60 mg. Nardil, 300 mg. Wellbutrin for about 3 mos., and while my mood has improved considerably, i have a horrible side effect that may cause me to discontinue the only medicine that has ever offered me any relief after 8 years of severe depression. My memory is gone. Completely. I can't remember anything anyone says to me. In the last week alone, i have put dirty clothes with soap on them in the dryer, lost my keys twice, my wallet once, burned at teapot at my friends house, put the teapot on the wrong burner in a seperate incident. It is really bad, my word recall is gone. I repeat stories and incidents constantly, because i can't remember i told them, i am constantly asking people the same questions. It's like i have alzheimers. Is the the price i have to pay for keeping myself out of the hospital? My pdoc seems at a loss. I suggested Provigil, but i don't know, and neither does he. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't go back to being suicidal, but now i am mentally ill in a different way, and people look at me like i am a complete dumb ass. it really kills me, because i have always been proud of my intelligence, always done well in school, it's a major component of who i am, Now i am operating on the mental level of a 4 year old. Oh, i also cannot have an orgasem. I can't go on like this. Please, some ideas or tips or anything would be so, so appreciated. Apologize for the length on this.
