So all my life I've always had trouble not remembering where I put things and so on and so forth. But now as I'm growing up (23) that problem is still there. Throughout college that's when things got pretty bad as far as my OCD then manifesting into mania. I eventually began seeing a pdoc about 1.5 month ago and he put me on Lithium, Lamictal, and now Klonopin. Now, I want to say it's because my mind is always some where else and I that I have problems concentrating but I'm not sure. Or is it the lamictal that's causing the short term memory loss? I've starting to write things down to remember, but I'm 23, should I have to be doing that? I mentioned it do my pdoc but he didn't think much of it. So, is it my cycling random racing thoughts the origin of my short term memory loss? My long term memory is still there but for instance, I had an appointment on one tuesday, and I promised the doctor I'd make it, but I completely for got about it on Friday. I need an answer to this problem. My concentration is horrible and my head isn't as clear. My mood is better now that I've been on Lamictal but my concentration and memory hasn't improved one bit, maybe its even gotten worse. Has anyone experienced this? If so, what treatment can I take to help this? I've started to exercise, I take about 1-2 grams of Omega-3, viitamin b complex, just started magnesium. Please someone help me with this. I can't live like this all my life
