I need a theory on something. I have severe memory loss, I can remember about a days worth of memory and then everything is blank, I remember who people are, if they are nice people but nothing about them.My short term memory is very bad as well so I struggle to read and follow stories.
For some reason can be almost fully reversed with Sertraline, after about 4 or 5 days a huge chunk of my memory returns but it gives me sexual side effects and mania.
I have tried a number of other medications SSRIs/SNRIs, Seroquel and Lamictal none of which helped to reverse the memory loss. I have also tried a lot of supplements including Tryptophan to increase my serotonin.
I have had the following tests:
Assessed for dementia and Alzheimers - NEGATIVE
MRI and an MRI scan of my temporal lobes - NO ISSUES
Numerous blood tests - NO ISSUES
I have been Dx'd obstructive sleep apnea, cpap does not reverse my memory issue
The big questions are what is causing my memory loss and what is unique about Sertraline?
