What Causes Memory Loss While On Diazepam And Gabapentin?

After going through a nasty divorce 7 years ago my dr. Put me on diazpam and gabapentin when my back pain and stress had increased. I have had extreme memory loss and many other symptoms. If i had been aware of the side effects I would not have taken this medicine. What should I do?

Hello,

Diazepam and Gabapentin are known to cause memory loss especially when you take for a long time. I suggest you consult your treating doctor and stop these medicines if not required. You can ask for substitutes for these medicines also.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prashant Gohil
