-I think you could tell if you were having memory problems.

You don't have to choose the drugs yourself. You can discuss new drugs and your med history with your pdoc before you decide on treatment.
I do have memory problems. I have a host of cognitive problems from MS- I had them before I was on any psychiatric meds aside from klonopin, and before I was diagnosed as bipolar.
I can tell you
now that lithium effected my memory, but I wasn't aware of it at the time. And I was on it for 7-8yrs.
Because I already have memory problems, it makes that side effect harder to spot, especially if it's a subtle difference. I kinda need my husband to do that for me now. But even being tired makes my cognitive problems worse.
