I have this problem too. I will be driving down the road and forget where I'm going forget that I did drop my daughter off at the babysitters. Then I will be talking to someone and stop in mid sentence and forget what we were just talking about. I was on lyrica I took myself off I didn't like the way it made me feel. I'm just trying to cope with the pain w/o meds not really having luck with it. But am trying and really have to try now since I just got a job.
