What Causes Partial Loss Of Memory And Fatigue While On Adderall?
I am in end stage COPD and SVT along with high anxiety and depression. I was taking valium and my normal resting heart rate was around 117 and my oxygen level was 93. I talked with my medication manager about adderall for my depression as valium was causing loss of memory and me being more tired. I am taking 5 mg and my resting heart rate sometimes is as low as 97 but around 107 and my oxygen level is 97. Could adderall be helping as the only other medication I take is Anovo inhaler once per day?

Hello,
Tiredness & fatigue are the side effects of valium. Alcohol & drug addictions can cause memory loss.
Stay away from addictions if any. Memory loss or forgetfulness is also due to stress, anxiety & depression.
Do not take Adderall by yourself. Consult a Psychiatrist/Counselor, get examined. You will be assessed & evaluated & medicines that will be best for you will be given t help you come out of depression.
You are suggested not to get dependent on the medicines for stress, anxiety & depression but to get your self engaged in things that make you happy, make new friends, listen to music, read books, spend time outdoors.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
