Suggest Medications For Memory Loss In Patients With Hemorrhagic Stroke

My husband has been diagnosed with bipolar, depression, PTSD, HBP. He had a hemorrhagic stroke in 1996. He takes a long list of meds. He saw his dr on Monday and he added buspar along with his citalopram. He takes carbemazipine also. He having trouble focusing, and memory is even worse since seeing the dr. The doc took him off his cholestrerol meds on Monday thinking that maybe that was causing some of his confusion and memory loss. He has gotten worse....what should we do

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The memory loss in hemorrhagic stroke is very severe and its organic and difficult to revert. You may try using memantine and it may help in certain cases. Other wise no such specific medications. Piracetam has some role in such cases.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
