I can remember things I did in high school very vividly but not the details of the meeting that took place yesterday. Scary!

I would suggest a detox if you think you can safley take a break from the meds for a while. Totally flush out your system, try to avoid stress and take up a new hobby, preferably physical. Exercise has been proven to increase mental clarity and cognitive recall.
Hope this helps, good luck!

I can't imagine how anything related to blood pressure pills could have anything to do with it. I have no short term memory to speak of myself and it's from severe sleep problems. Sleep deprivation can do that.
I'd suggest seeing a doctor. If he doesn't think it's severe then you may just need to organize and plan better to compensate. But you do need to be checked to be sure.
I had been answering questions in mental health and general health came up without me realizing it- I thought I had an answer because mental health issues I know about. Memory problems in relation to other mental illnesses. Sorry I can't help more.

I just read a story about this >increase memory has much 70% by exercising your brain , One way I do it is by looking up words in the dictionary and trying to remember the definitions,crossword puzzles use words you would never use in everyday conversation but crossword puzzles do help.

You may want to see a doctor about this. And as mentioned above, Ginkgo is known to help with memory.
Stress and lack of rest may also be a culprit.

I'm only 24 and my memory is gone....If it makes you feel any better and I think that weed comment had a lot to do with my memory stuff even though I only smoked it like 4 times. If you get any good advice pass it my way. Thanks

Ginko is meant to help with memory. But also go to doctor and get tests done.

you may be just so busy. well you should always depend on your memory to keep it active. but if you think it is more than just a busy mind, you should go to a doctor as soon as possible.
