Answer 3

While it's not listed as one of the more common side effects, it actually CAN cause memory loss in a small percentage of people who are taking it.
If the memory loss becomes something that is intolerable for you, talk to your doctor about putting you on another medication.

Answer 4

The most common adverse events occurring during all controlled clinical trials were dizziness, somnolence, edema, dry mouth, blurred vision, weight gain, and thinking abnormal (primarily difficulty with concentration/attention). Adverse events were generally mild to moderate and dose related. In most cases, they were not severe enough to stop treatment. In the majority of cases, some of these side effects resolved with continued dosing.
So, it appears that any memory loss was temporary.
