It affects my short term memory. When I got my internal EEG test , they did a WADA test. This test shows your brain memory while having the EEG test going on

Once you’re on seizure meds they are already effecting your memory one way or another from the side effects.

Then there is the possibility of your seizures effecting your memory . It all depends on where their activity is located.

I took the WADA test when doctors were talking about doing a surgery and removing the left side of my brain. They turned off one half of my brain and asked me questions then turned off the other half of my brain and asked me more. This was to see if removing half of my brain would affect my memory.
