short term memory problems?

[[Me...]]

I decided to keep on track and my last dose is tonight at .0064  Only been on klonopin for 4 months started taper after 18 days. 

 

I was really nervous going into this last couple days, and on Saturday I had a sx I didn't have before.  I felt like I was drunk and hyper.  Today I was having an awesome day, until I came into the house and realized I had left the stove top on for over an hour.  Scares me to think it could be something else besides withdrawal.  I'm figuring it's just a sx, but my short term memory has been awful.

 

Is short term memory a side effect of withdrawal?

Hi

 

Yes, for me short term memory has been and still is a big problem.  I forget the most obvious things, forget conversations, forget what I have to do.  I have taken to writing everything down.  I have noticed a slight improvement though so hopefully it won't last too long....

Thanks Cass!  It really worked me up today!  Good to know that it's probably a sx 

 

I am also on Zoloft 50mg but wanted to get off the klon first.  Hoping dr will agree to taper me off zoloft too..............

I am also on Zoloft but will wait a few months before tapering that one.  One day we'll be drug free!

Yes I've have this problem too. It's still pretty bad 2 months later but I've made incremental improvements during this time so I believe it will come back at some point.

I also went through the CRS stage.  I printed out a check list in a large font and taped it to the front door.  I also made a check list for my car because of constantly forgetting my wallet or reading glasses.

My memory has greatly improved but I still use the timer on my phone for cooking and a reminder app for other events.

Thanks so much for all the replies and helpful info! 

lukebass, great idea for putting list by the front door.  I will use it!
