Foggy Mind, Confused, Forgetful. Taking Natrol. Your Opinion?

I am having a problem with my memory . I am 73 yrs old and find in the morning my mind is foggy, I sometimes get confused and forgetful. I used to have a very good memory. I just bought a vitamin by Natrol called brain spped memory. Contains 50 MG thiamin, 125 mg niacin , 10MG B6,1,000 MG folic acid , 500 MG B12,125 pantothenic acid . My doctor does not believe in natural medications. What do you think?

Sir..
There is no harm in taking the medications you have mentioned as all are vitamins.
If you have disturbed sleep or obstructive sleep apnea because of which you have a disturbed sleep which may cause early morning confusions and somnolosence.
As you are 73 years old there can be changes in the brain at this age .So i would suggest you to consult a neurologist and may undergo few blood tests and an MRI brain to rule out dementia and other age related brain changes.You need to undergo a detailed neuropsychiatric evaluation and a sleep study.
