It could well be meds sweetie.. I would call your pdoc for sure and let him know how you're feeling... x

I actually wonder about that myself. I can completely relate. Sometimes I would go into the elevator and stare at the numbers for minutes not knowing which floor to press. Sometimes I would be conversing with someone, and suddenly I forget halfway what I'm saying. There are other instances, I can no longer memorise my scripts the way I used to. I have "blackouts" but they usually happen during my manic episodes (not sure about yours). But feeling zoned out happens many times. Even others have noticed.

I would like to believe it's due to my meds. But we can't be totally sure of these things. Based on my conversations with people here, meds do have a tendency to mess up with your brain. I know sometimes you feel like you're losing control. Why don't you talk to your pdoc about this? Do you have a pdoc? Maybe the both of you can work on a set of meds that may help you in your quest for memory refreshment?

what meds are you taking.i had that with a few meds.it hasnt gone away 100% but its much better since stopping.it is a bad feeling.

Are you taking new med's?
I started a new medication and the samething happend to me, not a good feeling everyone looks at me and shakes their head like what's wrong with this girl. Anyway make a Dr. apt and tell them what your going through!

Ive felt like this ever since I gave birth.

And even more exagerated since Im preggers again.

However, when I was on Effexor xr.... I felt like this alll the damn time.
It go so bad..... that it felt like I was in a static box.
Like everything around me was pins and needles, like it was all salt and pepper, white noise and static. When someone would touch me it would feel like it burned somehow.

Right now Im not that bad, but my memory is pretty hairy right now.
And I feel so zoned out when I was drivin yesterday to the doctors... I had a mini panic attack. (didnt go full blown.... just teetered there scaring me)

Check your meds. If your on Lithium, maybe its time for a blood test to check your levels. If your on Effexor xr... consider GETTING OFF IT. There was a huge case in the states about it cauing alot of physical and mental problems. If I would have taken it much longer, I might have committed suicide. It was the worst period of my life.

My memory is horrible the past few years which is so frustrating because my memory was so sharp my whole life. I feel stupid when I forget what I am saying half way through a sentence. But my meds are finally working so I had to weigh the side effects with the benefits. But definitely ask pdoc which med it is and if you can tweak it for better memory. I understand though, completely.

I have the same problem. I'm notorious among my friends for having a horrible memory. During my first appointment with my current shrink, he asked me how long I've had trouble with my memory, and I thought about it for a second before realizing that I really can't remember. And I zone out a lot--not as much as I used to though. One of my friends actually started joking about my "lobotomy face," cause all of a sudden in the middle of a conversation I'd just zone out and my face doesn't hide it too well I guess...

Also I should add that it's gotten better the longer I've been on the meds and the more used to them I've become. Although almost every night I can't even remember if I've taken my meds already or not. If you're still trying to figure out what meds work for you, then that's probably causing the problem.
