Thank you for the responses.
Sorry I've not been back in since posting.
Stress is impossible to avoid in my life at the moment.
My hubby has neuropathy, which is what brought me to this site. We also found out some weeks ago that his Mum has lung cancer and I had been caring for her too after she had a stroke.
I've now had to stop caring for his mum as my hubby needs me to care for him.
I have to be honest, I don't really feel stress as such at the moment, as I very much enjoy caring for my hubby as he has cared for me in the past
Some times I wounder if I am overloading my brain doing puzzles, but most things I have read about memory say to do that kind of think and I have to say I find it very relaxing.
I know there are books etc on line that are suppose to help with memory, but tbh I cant afford things like that with my hubby not working.

Rrae, do you suffer from depression as this is a big factor with memory, speech etc. Stress is also a big factor, as the brain can get overloaded.
The Citalopram I take is for depression, so in fact they should be helping?
Sorry I don't know anything about 'guided imagery', biofeedback, but would like to know more
Lee, can you not speak to your Dr, to see if there are any other meds they could give you which do not have the same side affects. In saying that, if the meds are doing your other ailment good you have to weigh up things first.
Vowel Lady, I have never heard of PS 100, but I will be looking into it Thanks so much for the input.

Once again thanks so much for answering my post. Just to know that there is someone out there listening and giving their time to answer helps
