I have had short-term memory problems on Wellbutrin SR. Sometimes I think my brain thinks faster and is more alert, other times it's borderline racing, which I don't like. Currently, I'm on 200mg 2X/day.
For the most part though, I find I forget things almost instantly. For instance, I walked out from work with a co-worker the other night. She was parked in a parking lot, I was parked in a garage. I had a box for her. We agreed as we parted company to meet at the curb where we stood so that I could transfer this large box from my truck to her car.
I went up four flights on the elevator, not 50 yards away, walked to my truck, also not 50 yards away. Started up and headed out. There are two exits I can take. Luckily, I chose Swan Street instead of Scio because upon my exit I came upon my friend in her car waiting for me at the curb. I'd completely and I mean COMPLETELY forgotten.
I now write myself lists of things I want to accomplish at home -- especially on the weekends because I know I won't remember to do them and then I'll be angry at myself for forgetting. (BTW, I am 38.)
