I am tired of being so forgetful!

Tweet

I have been so forgetful latelly. I have been forgetting important appointments such as doctors appointments, important phone calls that I have to make, paying my bills, sometimes even what I had done the previous night! I cannot understand why I have been so forgetful. The only thing that I can think of that could cause this is my medication. I have been on two medications for almost a year now, Lamicktal and Abilify. I have read the side effects and see nothing of forgetfullness. I have tried everthing from writing the appointments down on the calender, placing it in my appointment book in my email, even pasting a sticky post-it on my computer screen. I just rip off the post-it and cast it asside, I never read the calender, and I forget to check my email for days. So nothing is reminding me. What I hate the most is how I can forget what I have done the previous night. I will forget little details of what I did or what was said. Is there any explanation? Is there anything out there to help my poor memory? I will appreciate any response.
