What Causes Memory Loss After Taking Zyprexa?

Problem of forgetfulness.. could be Zyprexa.. could be other things.. need more information..
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking in HCM.
Use of Zyprexa (olanzapine) can cause problem of forgetfulness as it decreases alertness by increasing sedation.
It can also due to mild depression.
Please give me more details about your illness for which you are taking this drug.
After that I could probably give you a much better way to overcome your problem of memory loss.
Memory enhancement drugs like Admenta and Donepezil are a possibility, but only after knowing the cause of your problem. These are prescription drugs though, so you will need to contact your Primary Care Physician if we decide these medications are necessary.
Please give me a detailed history and I will do my utmost to help you.
Hope I have answered your query..
Take care

Thanks
it could be pseudodementia
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for providing more information.
You seem to be showing signs of 'pseudodementia', most probably a part of post schizophrenic depression.
I would suggest that you first go for brain MRI to rule out any structural issues with the brain.
Olanzapine (Zyprexa) can also cause these symptoms.
Tab Vitamin E and other antioxidants should be helpful here as well.
Tab donepezil and tab admenta are medications that would help you as well, in my opinion. They require a prescription though.
You will need to discuss this situation and my reccomendations with your psychiatrist and remain working with them in close concert.
Hope I have answered your question.
