That is what i have been dealing with. I am constantly looking for things i have misplace-keys,notes,money,ect.. It is frustrating. Then I have been breaking things. I do housekeeping and I have been breaking things on people. I feel so bad. I will always replace it if i can. But i dson't know. It has gotten worse since adding on the lamictal and upping the seroquel. Does anyone else go through this?

They just upped my Lamictal two days ago from 200mg to 300mg and also increased my Seroquel XR from 50 to 100 (already on 400mg reg. Seroquel). I have trouble finding words and remembering at times and vascillate between anger and despair. Stuck on the couch with a headache doing NOTHING. Will it ever get better?

I deal with this too! It is so terrible that I forget the second point I was going to make after I just said I had two points.

I lost my keys in the house and we never found them. Even when we were moving. It is embarassing. Looking for words and forgetting how to spell them stinks too.

You are not alone. Take care.

I do the same things too. Constantly looking for things and walking into a room forgetting why I walked in there.

I am usually excellent at spelling but I find it is getting worse. I have lost 3 cell phones, my wife's keys to her car, and many other things just disappear off the face of the earth.

I thought I was the only one who forgot the second half of my sentence before I finished the first! Joy, I had that so badly today .. am moving house so there are rooms with boxes "on-the-go" ... walked to the bedroom with something from the living room, ahem, why am I here? back and forth I went. Eventually I gave up and did laundry ! Wink
