Is Provasil Safe For Memory Loss While On Medication For Seizures?

I am only 51 years old and am having a real problem with memory loss & it effects my job. I was reading about this product called Provasil. I take medication for seizures even though I had brain surgery 18 years ago and I haven t had a seizure since then. I was wanting to know if it would be safe for me to take Provasil.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
First of all I would like to let you aware that there is no medication which can improve your memory. Memory loss can be due to trivial cause such ageing or may be due to serious disease such as Alzheimer's disease. If it is affecting your normal day to day life then it needs to be investigated under medical guidance of a neurologist who is specialized in dealing such cases. But in most of the cases, cause is trivial or it may be normal for your age. But no drug will improve your memory. Pravasil is a nutritional supplement. It won’t help you in improving your memory.
Advice
1.     Consult a neurologist if it is affecting your day to life.
2.     Keep a note of everything. Note everything in a diary
3.     Drink coffee and caffeinated beverages. It will provide you alertness
