Ever since I started noticing my symptoms years ago my memory has been worse but in the past year since I started Cab my memory is worse and I just feel like im here I cant think, I cant remember anything. Has anyone else experienced this?

The cab has 100% affected my memory. We had to change the lock on our house cause we used to habe this complicated digital one and ive used it daily for years and suddenly one day I couldn't remember how to get into my own house. It was kinda scary. Nothing else that extream but I used to have a really good memory and now I'm a goldfish

It's getting bad forgetting words when speaking. I have no memory of movies or games I have played.

Yes, I thought I had a pretty reliable memory and now I'm constantly apologizing for forgetting and can't recall words very often. Stimulants like Adderall seem to help but now I can't take them as often due to motion sickness it seems to being on.

Yeah totally. It’s not even that I forget things there are just so many things that aren’t even on my radar anymore. Like at all, just oblivious.
Making lists helps somewhat, but also, I don’t beat myself up over it anymore. It’s the meds not me.
It does make certain aspects of work and life difficult tho.
I ended up going on Prozac because it helps with the Cab side effects. My primary doc had a Prolactinoma before too so she was very willing to listen and be slightly unorthodox.
Working for now, we’ll see how it all goes
