No. No Alzheimer that I know of. I’m supposed to see a neuropsychologist for a test to determine what’s going on but my insurance doesn’t cover it and I don’t have the money to pay out of pocket

I’ll do something and seconds later I’ll forget that I did it.
It could be the meds.

Look into Haldol and benztropine @LilyoftheValley

I’m sorry that you are going through this.

How old are you if you dont mind me asking? Dementia is rare in young people. I have a horrible short term memory, I think its because of all the concussions ive had. @LilyoftheValley

It could also be something cognitive and related more to sz but I’m not a doctor.

Just take things easy and try not to worry too much.

I’m sure my cognition isn’t what it used to be.

“Lumosity” is a great way to train your brain. I used to do these exercises. Some are free. I take it up soon again. It seems I get slowly out of my comfort zone. Maybe you just got a selective memory.

I am sorry Zannah. I hope whatever the problem is will get better. I am not sure what the problem is.

I used it when it was in beta and free long time ago. So they still have some free brain exercises?

I have benztropine prescription but never take it as I dont have akathisia or tremors anymore and I read that it can cause cognitive problems since its an anticholinergic.

Me neither. I’ve gotten some good advice here on the forum though.
