try this and don't laugh. my grandma told me she read this and it helped her alot. i was doing it for a while but I kept forgeting to do it lol. all you do is tell yourself "my memory is getting better." just like that like 10-15 times a day. "my long term memory is getting better" "i am remembering things more." its really easy and for some reason it works. this can apply to other things too. Try it out. what harm can happen. enjoy. as for studying i can't help you with that one. I have ADD and it kills me to study because I just can't do it.

Yes there are a few. I have this game called Brain Age for the DS and it gives you exerises to do to improve memory. Read out loud the faster you read the more your mind works doing this 2-5 times a week will help your memory. Doing simple math problems quickly. And playing suduko, crossword puzzles, and chess will also help you with memory. Also drinking ginsin and other vitiams and herbs will help keep your brain healthy. Call your local health food store they can tell you which ones.

Yes, Ambien was prescribed to me and my doctor warned me of memory problems, including what you're experiencing. Oddly enough, I don't remember the experience...lol, and Im not just teasing, I really dont. I took it for a month but it didnt help me to sleep very well or it gave me nightmares or something. But he said something specific about short term memory loss. Like forgetting where you put your keys, what you said in a conversation, etc...where you wont forget things like your parents or childrens names, or who you are...etc. Good luck! Also, maybe try just plain Ambien, not the CR. What that does is release all through the night making it impossible to sleep off all the effects of the drug! J

Exercise your mind by learning new things, stay active, eat food rich in anti-oxidants, and spend time with your close friends.  All these things have been proven by research to slow memory loss and lead to a happier life.

Are these memories bad enough to make you willing to try some visualization techniques?\n\nIf they are, here's a description of what I've done personally and with some other people to help with bad memories.\n\nIt is key to remember that we don't want to forget them completely. Total forgetting might let us repeat whatever caused the first bad memory and keep us from learning how to deal these situations. \n\nWe just want to get to the point where we are not feeling these memories all over again like they're brand new and we don't want to spend all our time thinking about not thinking about them.\n\nThe nice thing about these techniques is that even if they don't help, they do no harm, so we don't have to be afraid of trying them. The techniques do not have the side effects of drugs or alcohol.\n\nFirst, mentally lay out the memories you dislike and would like to give less attention to. Treat them like clothes that you would lay out on the bed before putting them away.\n\nTake one memory. Look at it as if it were something you were watching on television.\n\nReach out. Just like your real TV, reach out and turn down the volume. Take the color knob and turn it down until the memory fades to black and white. Now move to the other knob, the one for brightness and contrast. Turn down the brightness and contrast until you can barely see it. Play with it. Up, down, up, down. \n\nNow, leaving the memory black and white and just barely visible, reach out and pick it up and place it behind you, out of sight. It's still there. You can bring it out any time you want to, but you've physically moved it so that it is not blocking your ability to see other things.\n\nDo that for each memory that disturbs you. Make the physical movements. That will help give you "muscle memory" of what you've done, what you've changed, not just "mind memory."\n\nFor good memories, do the same thing only turn UP the volume, the color, the brightness and contrast. Place them to your side where you can easily see them out of the corner of your eye whenever you want to.\n\nThey're YOUR memories and you'd be less than a whole person if you lost them. You just want to pack them away in their right place. Whatever you place in front of you will be seen better than anything else. Whatever you place behind you will only be seen when you pull it out to take a look. You're in control instead of being controlled by.\n\nThis has helped me with memories of death, embarrassment, loss. I've passed it on to others before, physically guiding and encouraging them to make the motions, and they've reported that it has helped them. Try it right now, and tell us what happens.

Your dosage and right intake of Ambien will probably not give you any such side effect as memory loss. That is a rare adverse effect of Ambien ( Lorazepam) and usually occurs only in patients, which take the highest possible dosage of it, or they are at the same time on other medications, such as SSRI antidepressants.\nHope that is of help.\nHave a great day!

Try to eat three portions of oily fish each week e.g. tuna or salmon.  If you don't like these then take omega 3 or cod liver oil tablets on a regular basis.  Also, exercise the brain regularly by doing puzzles every day i.e. crosswords, sudoki, etc.  Try not to get stressed too because that causes memory loss; you often find you can't remember things when you are going through a stressful time.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

your mind,  like your body need exercise to function well. a few way to exercises your mind is to some crossword, puzzle, or play common games like solitaire, or chess to sharp your mind. keep on adding, multiplying,and subtracting. Do not depend always in calculator. A least once a week memorize a poem, or joke or a psalm. This will help to keep in mind in shape, and will increase your brain power in time. Learn to think inventively. Let ideas  come forth. A good hint is to think like a child.

Good nutrition can also keep the sharp mind. Remember name as many name as you can, and put a face along with a name. this will help your brain power improve. Do not drink to much alcohol, this impairs memory. depression is often a cause of a memory loss. If you depress a medical advice and attention. To spur a creativity talk to encouraging, not discouraging people. The best thing to remember  and live by is to increase your memory and your mind. brainstorm, and write things down as you think of them. study new subject and languages. before bed is good time to do this.Relax, this also need to increase your brain power.read a book, reading helps the mind and memory.

Take ginkgo biloba.  It's an herbal supplement that helps keep your memory sharp (it comes in pill form).  My mom takes it has told me that it does help her :)\n\n"The extract of the Ginkgo leaves has been used pharmaceutically. It has many alleged properties, but is mainly used as memory enhancer and anti-vertigo agent."

Make sure you eat well (particularly low GI food, as it will give you a boost over an extended period rather than something like chocolate which picks you up for 5 minutes and then dumps you again worse than you were before!).  Drink plenty of water, eat regularly, Bananas are supposed to be brain food, as is anything containing lots of Vitamin B.\n\nDon't stay up late, make sure you sleep well (8 hours a night!).\n\nApparantly Co Enzyme Q10 is supposed to help things like memory, as is Gingko and Ginseng - I find that two latter things make me hyper, but it is different for everyone!

Hi\n\nSadly, if she has suffered brain damage due to the infarct, then it is unlikely there will be any medication that will rectify her loss.\n\nWhat you and she can do is learn ways of improving her short term memory i.e. linking items to be remembered to a mental picture in her mind.    Practice recall games i.e. look at the items on a tray, cover and try and remember them.    Our memories can be improved with practice.\n\nTry talking to a psychologist at your local hospital for recommendations on mental exercises you could use.

Warm baths, chamomile tea, a B-Complex vitamin daily, lavender scented things (soap, shampoo, dishwashing liquid, candles, incense).  Also prayer and/or meditation is helpful to some, as is exercise.  Eat properly, and get enough rest.

smile. Im with you on this one. My mind is slowing down. I always thought I was fine. Never got depressed like my other friends but yes, the minds slowing down. Is concentration a huge prob as well?....the best thing I do is eat lots of fresh foods everyday, keep up your daily vitamin intake as well. Water is very underated and should be drunk in masses! There is a herbal drug out there called H2JK (or something like that - someone help us here) but it helps with the memory. Admittingly im very smart witted, its just Im starting to forget things....best of luck and lets see how you go :-)
