Epilepsy and Memory Loss
Sun, 10/08/2006 - 19:36Topic: Women With Epilepsy
I'm brand new to this forum. Looking it over, I don't see my major problem & don't have much info about it. I have lost alot of my memory & it supposedly is because of seizures. I have been on Neurontin since I had some blackouts, which I guess are called Absence Seizures. I just blank out & my eyes get glassy.
I want to know if the memory loss & "feeling weird" are the result of having Epilepsy, or could they be from meds? I also take Effexor XR for depression. I tried to go off that when I thought maybe I'd been mistakenly diagosed with depression before they realized I have Epilepsy. That resulted in some very bad mental & emotional health problems. I'm taking both now, & the memory loss & (sometimes)weird feelings persist. Anyone out there know anything about these issues?

Mangosteen? Really, Afraid to Sleep? I didn't know that. I'm in the Philippines and I just bought that fruit today 'coz I didn't know what it was and wanted to try it. Then, I read your post. Wow...talk about irony! :-)

Thank you so much for replying to my problem! It's ironic though, that you talked about Xango...I take Zija which is Xango's direct competition. It's made from the Moringa plant totally. I've taken it for over 2 years. Xango really seemed to help your memory and energy level though...that's interesting. Terri
