Does Epilepsy Medication Affect Memory?
I have epilepsy and have had it for sometime. I have been on several medications. Right now I am on three they are 50MG TOPIRAMATE two tablets twice a day one in the morning 1 at night and LAMONTRIGINE 150MG 1 tablet twice a day 1 in the morning and 1 at night and Brivaraaceta 50MG 6 tablets twice a day 3 in the morning a three at night. I have been on these medicenes for about five years. The other mediciations I was on I can t remember them all but I have been on since first grade. I am now 68 years. Can You tell me will the medication effect my memory or am just getting old and having a hard time remembering things. the third drug is a experimental drug I am in a program that will hopefully help others out that have epilepsy. Thank You

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, look the drug may not affect the memory but disease may it self cause this and again geriatric age could be associated problem, but this is nothing to worry, you can come out of this, try to change the schedule of your routine busy with what you are most interested, hope this information helps, take care.
