Now this will happen about 4 to 5 times a day. Hope that it does not get worse, as I depend on job as it is a great medical plan.
It is not long term but at the moment sorta thing.
Thanks

I, too, noticed the frequent forgetfulness of stuff like difficulty finishing my sentence due to forgetting the words or I dont remember the names or simply just not remembering if i already take the medicines. If i rely on my memory, i might be taking double dosage of all my medications. I have had quite a good memory thats why i know that whatever is happening now with my memory has nothing to do with aging.
I have been wanting to taper my Gabapentin (i am on 1800mg a day) but every time I try, the unpleasant sensations in my skin get 3x worse. I have read a couple of articles that Effexor is given to chronic nerve pain with decent success AND WITH LESS SIDE EFFECTS ON THE MEMORY. Anybody read this?
Thank you.
