worse?
I tried
Neurontin in the very early stages, for about 3 days. The effect
of it was worse than the pain! It certainly made my life foggy.
The only medication I have now for tm is Zoloft. Still on 50mg a day,
just seems to keep life smooth. I had about 18 months before I would
take that though and my memory was just as bad.
I have
days where it's OK and I can achieve heaps, on other days, well, heaven
knows!
I was
once in a speech therapy session with a friend of mine who had had a stroke
and had lost her speech. I noticed on the wall behind the
therapist, a little sign.

What I
miss the most is my mind.

When I was on nuerontin, I had major short term memory problems.
When I went off it, my memory problems went away. Although, when I am
in more pain and tired, I do have some memory problems. I chalk this
up to fatigue.

Hello everybody --- I have been reading
your stories. Don't you think that it is the various drugs you are
taking that might be causing the balance and especially the memory
problems?
I'm not on any drugs for TM. Synthroid for partial thyroid
removal due to a benign lump about 17 tears ago, and Toprol for a heart
rhythm problem -- I don't know if either of those are supposed to
affect balance or memory. At 49, I know some of it is due to getting older.
:)
But you're right, there are some drugs that would affect
balance and memory.
