As we write here often, every apparent lapse in memory is not a sign of an underlying medical condition.  Furthermore, even those lapses with an underlying medical cause, are often completely within our control.

A great article was posted today in the Huffington post describing how many, common, over the counter drugs, as well as many prescription drugs can cause memory loss.  It's a well written article with a comprehensive list of drugs, sorted by class, that have been known to cause such problems.

If you use any of these drugs and sense a decline in your memory, you might consider speaking with your doctor about other alternatives.
