JillynnieHas anyone experienced complete memory loss due to any of the meds mentioned? I am having some serious issues all of a sudden. The most recent is: I have my sub doc appt today and cannot find my folder that i was just writing in last night! I have all of dates/times/experience, etc to go over with him and it is no where to be found. I am SO panicked right now. I have to go over another serious memory lapse and I need this notebook to help me go over it with him. Please can someone help?

Hi Jillybean!
I cannot answer your query, however, I do have a memory loss story to share with ye.
(I really should email this to ya, but there are others that may actually enjoy this story... or maybe not?)
After my cold turkey WD off of OxyContin (the shite turned me into a total zombie-gurl, lost my memory on an hourly basis!) my memory returned.
So now tis like a miraclulous recovery of something akin to Alzheimer's Disease! Every film that I watched during my Oxy-daze (days) are NEW NOW!
That's right, I get to view old (from over two years ago to ten years ago) films and they are ALL NEW TO ME AT THIS POINT!!! A miracle you ask?
Why YES quoth I... tis a boon indeed Jillybean!!!
I shall email you forthwith, more info is coming to a PC near you!!! (oh lucky Jillybean!!! )
xoxo
Lara
