There is something I have found that seems to help.... IF you can find meds that you can take only at bedtime that last long enough into the next day to take care of your symptoms, you won't notice the memory impairment as badly during the day while you are trying to function. You said you are taking AP's. Could you try Seroquel only at bedtime? I found that to be easier (mornings were pretty rough though). If you can tolerate Risperdal only at bedtime, that wasn't too disruptive the next day either. SSRI's can vary in how much "name-forgetting" they can cause. I found Prozac the least problematic.
