My memory is shot lately

I swear to God I hope I am not getting early Alzheimers - I have been getting very forgetful.
I fed my dog twice last night - forgetting I fed him once already - my short term memory is pretty bad lately.
I dont know if its because I lowered the Risperdal to a sub therapeutic dose or what the ■■■■ it is!
This morning I was a bit confused as to where I got my paper cup to fill my coffee -
My Mother has mild Alzheimers, but she is 82 years old!
I am middle aged not close to being a senior citizen
I even gave my Mom her meds 2 hours early!

You’ve been under a lot of stress lately, I’d chalk it up to that.

Yeah and a lot of med changes, and yes stress - good thinking @Skims

Stress and dealing with the withdrawal. First 24 hours of coming down with risperdal in a med reduction trial. I was a wreck. Just take it slow for a few days and see how you get on with it.

Between holiday obligations and med changes and the process with your doc…

I have a feeling your mind is very full.

Hope you feel better soon.

My memory is shot too, my head is killing me with off and on headaches, and my focus is nearly entirely gone, it’s making me feel like a retarded goldfish. And ideas on getting the focus thing under control would be greatly appreciated here

My memory’s BEEN shot. What with antipsychotics and brain damage due to around 15 concussions, there’s not much left of my short-term memory.
