Title: HELP! I can't remember stuff?
Post by Gena on Apr 1^st, 2004, 9:23am

I posted this in general to just need answers!!!

I am in cycle now, I am on Verap. Imitrex and O2, and Melatonin at night.

I seem to be forgetting everything, but it is just not forgetting it is the fact that I have no memory of specific events. Of things that I have had to have done.

I know I have not been sleepin well if at all, could that be why?

Does any one else have this?

Using Verap for me in the past made me dirt stupid. Had problems constructing a basic written thought.

Gena,

It had to be the meds. Get the list of side effects and hopefully there is something there you can use as a defense if they go for your job, even if it's in the extreme small print. It would be a legimate medical condition making it illegal for them to release you. Part of the American Disabliity Act, passed to keep people safe from retaliation for medical conditions.

Gena,

Disabliity .

Wonder if this act covers the fact I can't type and/or spell worth a crap?

Call a pharmacist, they can sometimes dig up the "one in 5 milllion stuff".

OR - state you have CRS. (can't remember shit)

I always forget really simple things--everyday simple things--when I'm in cycle and especially when I'm on verap. and melatonin. It can get really frustrating at times and I have screwed up at work before and couldn't remember if I had done something or not. Luckily it wasn't my ass though.

What dose of melatonin are you on and how much sleep do you get total?

I find that I'm more forgetful at higher doses of melatonin and when I don't get a full night's rest while on it. It's almost like I have to shake it out of my system with a few liters of caffeine in the morning just to remember to put my pants on ;;D.

Good luck with the bosses. Hopefully it isn't Trump!

I wonder if Ritalin could help in this situation
