I am having trouble with memory issues after taking neurontine for over two years and effexir for one year. I have discontinued the effexir for the past two months but still take neurontin. All of this is for bipolar II. Progressively over the past year or so, I find it harder and harder to remember small things. At first it was not a problem because one cannot obsess if one cannot remember. But as time moves on, I have difficulty recalling words to finish sentences and ideas. I have trouble spelling words I use to know how to spell. I cannot recall from one meeting to the next at work what we said in the earlier meeting. I am 48 and have been told that memory deminishes with age but this seems extreme to me. I find that the memory problems interfere with my work. I am forever forgetting important things and my staff just looks at me seeming to say, what has happened to her memory. She can't recall a thing. Any others experiencing this with either of these drugs? What do you do for it? Thanks.
