Hi,
Thank you for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com. I have noted your symptoms of brain fog and memory loss.
The likely causes for this are:
1. Withdrawal from anti-anxiety medications: In this situation, we expect improvement as the days go by, and no worsening of memory loss should be seen.
2. Related to ongoing anxiety: If there are still anxiety and depression issues ongoing, then, you could suffer from memory problems, a condition, often referred to as "pseudo dementia".
3. Due to vitamin B12 deficiency- can be checked by blood tests,
4. Thyroid hormone deficiency- has been excluded by blood tests,
5. A brain disease such as ischemia (lack of blood flow to brain) or demyelination (such as multiple sclerosis): can be confirmed or excluded by doing MRI scan of brain.
I hope it helps. I would be glad to answer any follow-ups.
Best wishes,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar MD (Medicine), DM (Neurology)
