My dr put me on Donepezil 10 mg. It helps a lot with my memory problems. Sometime back she reduced the amount to 5 mg. But my memory got significantly worse when we put it back up to 10mgs it got a lot better. Try it!!

Oh yes you have to have a seizure log to keep track of your seizures I have one that's almost 5 years old it's my whole history of my seizures I take it with me to my doctor every time I go she'll read it make copies and then we make changes accordingly it's very important

I find the more seizures I have even if their little ones the worse my memory is that it takes time to heal my brain then my memory gets better. Other than that there's not much I can do I write things down and just learn to deal with it . People know I have a bad memory and I'll ask what's coming up the next day if I have to mostly I just write things down so I remember . The more seizure free I am the Better my memory is so I don't stress out over the bad memory I just work on being seizure free. Have a good day!

I suffer short term memory loss with seizures. The best advice I can give is keep a piece of paper in your pocket that lists all your medication and when you have had seizures. Also make a note of what you think triggered the seizure. This will help any doctor or ambulance crew if you need to go to hospital.
