My strategy to combat this is to write literally everything down. If there’s a chance I might need that information in the future, write it down. Ideally as a digital copy somewhere so I can search for it later.

I have also found, like you, that the meds don’t really help with this aspect of things. So we’ve just got to come up with coping strategies that minimize the impact it has on our lives.

Wait what was I talking about? Haha jk. But seriously, I am having MAJOR issues with retaining immediate information and remembering it hours or days later. I used to see improvements on this when I took my meds, but now even with my meds it’s worse than ever. Super frustrating professionally, and it impacts my confidence in my role. Blah.
