I was started on ADD medications about 2 years ago. I was given Vyvanse for daily use and a generic Adderall for as needed studying. My memory is extremely concerning now as even simple short term tasks I forget, while I'm speaking I can't find words, and just opening my computer or phone I forget what application I was going to use. Is there a connection between my memory and the medications and is there something else I can do to help myself? Memory worsening & ADD medications?
