Suggest Treatment For Short Term Memory Loss, Depression And Confusion

Hello: I'm have been experience short term memory loss over the last couple weeks, that has progressively gotten worse over the last several weeks. I began taking cymbalta some weeks back for depression. I'm backing off trazadone. Also I'm having moments of electrical feelin's of head sensations along with confusion. Are these side effects from my meds? Or are they neurological problems that I should be concern with?

Short term memory loss or forgetfulness can ne part of depression.

Trazadone is good medicine for depression. Confusion and electric sensation require neurological work up. Burning or electrical sensation can occur in depression also.

Proper and regular treatment will give better and fast recovery.
There are other modality of treatment too like psychotherapy and ECT.
Discuss with your treating doctor .
