See a neurologist: If these are new symptoms, you should be evaluated by a neurologist who can assess your cognitive function, and potentially refer you to a neuropsychologist who can further delve into this area. Further, there are a number of other things that can cause decline in cognitive function which could be addressed diagnostically and therapeutically.

A member asked:
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?

I've omitting words from sentences when speaking, and sometimes (more often) mispronounce words because I get what feels like a spasm in my jaw and/tongue. Have the same type of mini-pause in my fingers when typing sometimes. Worse when I aggitated.
