I have asperger's syndrome, and I've been taking seroquel for my bipolar. However, I've noticed after I'm taking this medicine (100 in the morning and 150 at night) that I've been going through a side effect called, anterograde amnesia. During class, as soon as a teacher says out loud directions of what we're suppose to do, I'd have to ask again because I wouldn't remember anything that the teacher told me to do. I may have an aid to assist with me, but there's no aid around me to help remember telling my parents about important phone calls (even if I write them down, I'll forget to give the messages to them) or to remember that I need to exercise or take a shower or study. I may talk about a subject that I already discussed with either a teacher, friend, or family member. I called my doctor and he told me that he's never heard of this problem or any complaints. He's cutting me down to 50 miligrams in the morning and 150 at night. So, does seroquel have this memory problem?
