Horrible memory problems

Hey everyone, not feeling to good today. Over this past month, it seems that with each day, my memory is getting worse. The problem I'm having, is that I don't know if I am having seizures, or if it is a side effect to meds. I only take 2 meds for my Epilepsy Carbatrol 300 mg 4 x's a day and 1 keppra xr 500 mg. I am on alot of 'other' meds for other problems I have as well. I take 7 prescriptions all together.

When the memory problems happen, I space out so very bad. I am forgeting serious things, like food cooking, taking my meds, that I was supposed to do something and when this happens, I I can't even remember what I wanted to say now. Maybe I should call the doc....

Thank you foro 'listening'
Dawn

" I keep my pills in a pill box as well, cause then I can remember to take my pills. That is how I realized the other day that I had not taken them the night before. I usually take them at a certain time every morn. and night. "

" I have a problem with the severe memory loss... I can't keep things in my mind for very long, and honestly, I figure that the seizures have made my memory shotty to begin with. And when I've tried talking to people about it, they're like "oh its just 'selective memory'" or "you just don't want to remember things". That's driving me crazy!! "
