I am forgetting a lot of things--what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Forgetting: Memory troubles can come from many causes. The most common is from alcohol or drug intoxication and withdrawal. The effects of other sedating pharmaceuticals can also cause this. So can depression, dissociation, and many other medical illnesses that impact your cognition. Please see your family physician for an evaluation of this problem, so that you can get help with it.
