Talk to prescriber: Talking to your prescriber about your concerns is the best choice, You are on a number on medications and memory issues are common side effects , close communcation with the prescriber of your meds is the only way to optimally manage them with you. A 2nd opinion is often worth consideration. Best Wishes
