Hi, I don't know about the afformentioned causing any memory loss,although it is certainly possible with any drugs.However,I do know that when blood sugars aren't stable,that will cause temporary memory loss. Check your blood sugars at times when you seem brain fogged.I get this way when I go hypoglecemic.I am reactive hypo.

I find it is amazing that when I had blood sugars tested time and time again in the morning during fasts,my blood sugars were normal range..normal higher end..but normal I had FGGT tests and GGT etc..these I do not believe are always that accurate,as in my case.I had to get a glucometer..take my blood sugars at times I was getting different symptoms and associated them with my sugars falling,where the adrenaline in my body was working to get them back up.During these phases,my memory short term..was terrible and I still get absent minded when it drops as today.I went to a store...had not eaten anything in five hours,which is too long for me....I was dizzy,heart was flippy and I was breathless and I am thin,so it is not the overweight issues here.,..I also was completely brain fogged.I forgot where I parked..I forgot where I put my glasses..I got panicy..this was normal..I came home and took blood sugars and low and behold..they were 2.4...here in Canada if they drop to 2.1 that means shock then coma.I have to be very careful. Remember when going hypoglecemic(which MEt caused me),,your brain needs fuel.

Don't worry,just eat a snack. Hope this ramble helped you know you are not losing your memory.
