Well, here I am for the first time...
Having a disturbing side effect of not remembering anything from arguments w/my husband (until I happened to play his apologetic voicemail several days later...and still I couldn't remember what the argument was about) to ordering things online...and just generally not able to remember what I did the day before w/out a whole trail of associations...hopefully a side-effect and not early-onset alzheimers (I'm 38, if I remember correctly)! I take 600 mg of Trileptal (generic) every night...have also just switched from regular Ambien to Ambien CR. Also take Citalopram 20mg, Pro...Pro...see! there goes the amnesia! Propanalol 60 mg for blood pressure...Adderall XR 20 mg for ADD? or maybe just working for depression as it's a stimulant? The Adderall is fairly new. I also just went off of 2.5 mg of Zyprexa...my wonder drug for mood and just making me feel normal but it makes me gain weight (of course), and makes my mouth twitch and I can just start feeling a bit of moisture in the corner of my mouth that I imagine would be full-blown drool if it were a higher dose or a longer course. When off the Zyprexa I tend to reach for the Klonopin, 2 mg, for anxiety. I see my doc tomorrow but she doesn't always know the side effects of every med...just wondering if anyone else experienced similar side effects.
Thanks and hi!

Hi Polly,
Sorry nobody answered your post.
I'd suggest posting on the Medications Board, since way more people go there & there's lots of knowledge & experience there.

Thanks for re-directing me...hopefully most newbies aren't so full of meds as I am!
