Can acyclovir cause memory side effects and confusion? i started getting horrible short term memory after 3 days in. got ct and no problems detected

Acyclovir: it certainly can cause problems. Some of the side effects listed are hallucinations, psychosis, headache, confusion, agitation, lethargy. I think memory problems could occur with most of those. Hope it resolves quickly!
