You’re not on the right dose or it isn’t working for you. Working memory should improve on the correct medication, not worsen to the point a goldfish could beat you in Memory Match

Is it even worth it, then? If you can’t even remember anything from your classes, why work for the degree?

😭 true. my memory has gotten worse but i have much better executive function, i thought it was a decent trade off. i can’t afford to go back to the doctor though so ill just stop taking it lol

It’s NOT a good trade off. Medical debt is worth it if it means you’re able to live a happy fulfilling life. This is not that. Go to the doctor and have your meds adjusted
