Memory Loss---Really Scared!!

Posted by tina on March 15, 2001, at 7:39:41

I've been taking Elavil, a tricyclic for about 2.5 months and I've been noticing some memory loss. I can't remember how to do simple tasks that I've done thousands of times before. I'm forgetting people's names and sometimes even forgetting where I am. It's scary when I look around and wonder how I got somewhere knowing I drove and don't remember being in the car at all. I look at the kettle in the morning and stare at the cup trying to remember how to make a cup of coffee. I forget my own phone number.
I'm getting scared. Is this normal with a tricyclic? or am I really losing my mind?
Help
thanks
Tina
