What Causes Poor Memory After Taking Nexito?

default
Posted on Tue, 5 Jul 2016
Question: Hi
I hv taken nexito 5 mg for 2- 3 months. Now I'm having a memory problem. I can hardly remember the things I hv done in last few months. Most importantly I can't even remember the conversation I hv with people. Each day I can remember only things that happened yesterday that too not always. Most of the time I don't remember the things that happened on the same day. It's difficult to figure out date n time. I hv to keep reminding myself. Difficultyin doing analysis of anything. Can't even remember my own habits n things I say or do.
Pls suggest me what might b the problem n do I need to consult any neurologist for the same?
Thanks & regards

Brief Answer:
It is not due to nexito

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all I like to inform you that the memory problem is very rare with use of nexito but common with the problems which are treated by nexito such as anxiety and depression. It is possible that your original problem is not adequately treated with use of nexito.

I request you to provide all other symptoms which lead to use of nexito.
I also request you to see a psychiatrist as anxiety and depression are treated by psychiatrist rather than a neurologist.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.

Hello sir
Thanks for ur quick response. I was having sleeping problem. Moment I used to b on bed my mind used to get super active n due to stress I could not sleep. There used to b too many thoughts disturbing my sleep. Moreover I used to wake up in pain. As of now I don't hv difficulties in sleeping. I hardly remember anything so I don't stay stressed. I sleep entire night. No break no disturbance. But in the morning I hv to wake myself up as there is no break in sleep. N my eyes r always heavy n want to sleep entire day but always useless. No matter how much I sleep problem doesn't get solved. In fact after sleeping too much I feel more exhausted. I consulted a psychiatrist too as after leaving nexito I felt as if I was not feeling my emotions. But was not the case. I'm emotionally fine. I hv pcod. Can that b reason of memory problem. Can mineral deficiency b a problem bcos I hv D3 n B12 deficiency.
I can't retain any information for too long n recalling is also difficult. It seems due to some reason my memory is getting blocked.
Thanks

Brief Answer:
It could be contributed by vitamin deficiency

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

I have reviewed your history of illness and stick to my opinion that nexito is unlikely cause as I have never encountered any patient despite prescribing nexito to thousands of patients.

I agree that vitamin B 12 and Vitamin D3 could be possible cause but I hope you must have taken the supplements by now. If not please take the supplements as they are the correctable cause.

Thirdly I feel you can go down with 2.5 mg Nexito as it is too much sedative for you.

Fourthly ask your doctor for Modafinil prescription if he feels alright for it. In my opinion modafinil 100 mg in the morning may helps you.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for my future patients.

Thanks once again for ur quick response.
Well I forgot to mention that I have already stopped taking nexito 7 to 8 months back. Right now I'm not on any medicine for sleep. I am taking vitamin supplements for last 1 yr.

Brief Answer:
In that case you can continue vitamins along with my suggestion

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for reverting back to me.

Since you already stopped nexito eight months back there is no chance that memory problem related to it. You can continue with multivitamins and ask for Modafinil prescription from your psychiatrist.

As suggested earlier it is likely to help you in your memory problem.

Wish you great health.
Thanks and regards
