Memory difficulties

I have to take quite a bit of pain medication daily. I am noticing that I have memory lapses and want to apologize if I repeat myself or do not remember I have already received an answer to a question I asked for the second time.
Does anyone else have these memory lapses and some confusion at times because of medication?

Hi @cracker
I think a few members will be able to understand this! Either through medication or brain fog, sometimes memory is an issue for a lot of people.
If this is something new to you though, it may be worth getting it checked out with your GPScope

Not new, has been happening ever since I started the medications. I take a narcotic and others with that side effect.
That said, I am also 71, so some lapses are normal for my age (sigh).
