I have memory for many many things. What I don't have is the ability to recall them when I want. Also I wonder how can I have good long time memory while having zero short memory, it's a mystery to me.
The ability to consistently recall words/names of things is one of the most apparent changes when I'm medicated vs non-medicated.
Really? It improves for you? May I ask what you take?
Cause for me it's a bit tricky, some medications I've tried have made me completely unable to remember words in regular speech, causing me to give up on treatment with those.
But on the other hand, others don't tend to do much for my attention deficit, despite boosting my attention.
Yeah, it really helps me a lot with recall. Like the difference between trying to start a cold engine vs one that's already warmed up.
Just basic adderall. I've actually been largely off of it for a while at this point (I go in phases where I decide it's not worth the side effects).
Sometimes when people have short-term or working memory issues, the brain over-relies on long-term memory to compensate.
