Have you been prescribed antidepressant for memory and appetite?
I haven't see any Neuro specialists at all. My Family Doctor is waiting on advice from a Neurologist before prescribing anything. When I chased up the Neuro clinic the current waiting list is around 9 months - apparently I haven't even made the list yet. My expectation is that I will get an assessment in August 2013.

In the meantime I may be able to press my doctor to give me something. As our most esteemed expert what you recommend ?
