Hi, I’m on zuclopenthixol and my memory seems to be suffering. I can’t remember past conversations or which posts I have answered!! How is your memory and what can I do? I’ve started to take gingko biloboa and omega 3 etc! I don’t know if it’s average for a 48 year old or if I’m in trouble…

I have a bad memory too, and I didn’t notice any difference when I took ginkgo biloba so I stopped spending money on that supplement.

Mines hit and miss. I don’t really remember conversations the way I used to, but I do remember how to follow maths if I take it from first principles. Even if I practice soemthing with repetition, eg, a factsheet. I forget by the time I need it. It’s pretty common I think, even for normies is what i tell myself.
Sometimes being kind and stressing yourself out less helps to recall cos you don’t feel the self pressure. I think at least. Good luck with he supplements

My memory is not good, but I don’t blame this illness or the meds. I’m turning 60 this May so the cause of bad memory can be ageing. I take lecithins and fish oills everyday hoping these supplements can delay the process of losing memory.

Memory doesn’t exist in my life.
I write notes on my phone,and listening audio books.Even when I listen ,I must repeat twice.

I have a pretty bad memory, I blame this illness and depression. Hopefully it does not degrade further, but we will see.

Mostly OK, apart from a significant outlier. Visual memory < 2nd percentile (human benchmark) . Predates signs of mental illness . A pre teen me being thrashed at pairs/Pelmanism by my sister who’s over 3.5 years younger.

Mine is slightly better now that im off of olanzapine. The latuda doesn’t affect it like the olanzapine did. My brain seems to process things faster now. I was on 20mg olanzapine, I dont know if that’s a lot? I dont sleep as much as I did. Dr prescribed some hydroxyzine for sleep, but just makes me lazy the next day . Not really making me sleep better.

20mg is the official max dose, but some people are in rare cases prescribed even more.
I too have bad memory on zyprexa. Currently on 10mg. I tried Latuda briefly. Seemed like a better med, unfortunately I did not tolerate it.
Sleep can be difficult when coming off. Maybe ask your doctor for options if the hydroxyzine doesen’t help.
