What Medication To Take For Memory Loss?

I take wellbutrin and I am wondering if it helps with memory loss. Could you please let me know what I can take for memory loss? I am really trying to get my doctor to prescribe something for this because it's causing a serious problem with me and my schooling.

welcome to HCM!

You want to have some drug for your memory problem. I have seen donepezil giving good response on cases of memory loss. But to know if the memory loss Is due to age or due to depression or some other psychiatric illness is the main point behind its treatment.

So, if it is due to depression, then only by managing depressive disorder successfully one may he complete improvement in memory.
# the query is not clear enough to diagnose the cause of weak memory..

If it is due to age, then the above mentioned drug gives good result.

Hope the reply is useful
