[He...] Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I am noticing that I am forgetting simple words like ziplock and having concentration problems. I have taped down to 1 mg of Valium from 2 mgs of Valium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Yes I feel agitated because I am so confused and forgetful. Feels like my brain is full of cotton candy (literally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Bl...] Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Omgrief, I hate this one. And I can't recall the word I'm looking for. Lexo...something. And it always seems to happen when I *have* to be *on*, leading a meeting or conference, or important conversations. I have made kokes that I can't "English" when it is minor, but when it is bad, I want to cry. Thankfully, this doesn't seem to last long.

[Ha...] Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 The first time I had to go through this in 2016 I forgot my wife's name tons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[JJ...] Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Yep has been bad for me at various points on the way down. A bit of an issue as my job involves talking all day.. Ok now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Bl...] Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 It is, and has been a big problem for me! I couldn't remember the last 4 digits of my phone number I've had FOREVER!! Couldn't remember my great aunt's name, missed doses even with an alarm to remind me. I also did brainless things I would never have done before, like put the chicken pot pie in the oven with the black plastic cradling the pie plate, instead of just putting the pie plate alone on the cookie sheet. Could have burned my house down! It comes for a period of time, then goes, and comes back. I am at a total loss for words or even what I am supposed to be doing during a task. It can be so frustrating, I know! Hang in there and know you're not alone! ❤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Se...] Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I have this too along with a strange sensation where I seem to be like: "how did I just get here". Also slurred speech. Does anyone else have this as a symptom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ex...] Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 How long does this last for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Se...] Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Not long maybe a few seconds at most. But its the weirdest feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[IH...] Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I just started, and although I have a great memory, it hasn't been doing well lately.... I also notice I keep making odd spelling mistakes. And not simple typos. Yesterday, I was typing out "ad-blocker" and it came out "ad-bloccker"... Lots of double letters for no reason. I can handle this, but I'm worried when I'm much further in. I started my taper 12 days ago, and went from 3mg to 2.75, and since yesterday, 2.5mg.
