Today, I went to the doctor for a check up, having had a head injury a week ago and suffering some memory loss. Turns out, the medicine he gave me for my head has memory loss as a side effect. He then said, "I told you. Don't you remember?" After I said no, he said, "I figured." and giggled. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to see a doctor about some of the memory problems I've been having. After the appointment, I could barely remember a thing he told me. FML
Today, it's been several weeks, I went to the doctor for an ear infection and I still don't feel too good. It was then that I realized the doctor forgot to prescribe me medication for said infection. That explains a few things. FML
Today, I have problems with my memory. I asked a teacher if I could let my class know a bit about it. The teacher said I'd already told my class about it. My class had even asked a few questions to me about it. I don't remember anything about it. Maybe it didn't happen and the teacher just lied to me. FML
Today, I accidentally let slip to my mom that I hardly remember the graduation party she threw me four years ago. She proceeded to verbally assault me for forgetting the special occasion. I had a brain complication two years ago which resulted in some memory loss. Apparently, it's my fault. FML
Today, I was taken to the hospital after I fell down the stairs. The physician who saw me bit his lip and said he would have to amputate my foot, and I fainted in terror. One of the nurses later told me to "learn to take a damn joke." FML
Today, I woke up with a headache and a bruised forehead after my husband full-force elbowed me in the head last night in his sleep. It wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact he has zero memory of doing it. FML
Today, my new doctor gave me a breast exam and said everything was healthy, before adding "Well, I think so, anyway. I don't actually work here." As I freaked out, he laughed out loud, said he was just kidding, and that he should prescribe me a chill pill. FML
Today, after months of arguing with doctors and them trying to hand me off to mental health professionals, it turns out I indeed have a physical brain injury they missed. Scary, right? FML
Today, I was worried about my brother because he said that his new medication was making him hallucinate. I told him he should see a doctor right away. He said it was fine and that he had already seen a doctor. I later found out the doctor he was talking about was a hallucination. FML
Today, my dad decided to take his medicine before eating. He passed out with his face in a plate of chocolate cake. He wasn't responsive so I called the paramedics. When he got to the hospital, the doctor asked him if he knew why he was there. He replied, "Because my stupid daughter overreacted." FML

Does anybody read the side effects list on medication before taking them?

Yes, it makes me realize I have all of them.

I need to know the name of the medication so I can use it for my defense in my upcoming masturbating on public transportation case.

A lot of anti-convulsant drugs have this effect.

My guess is that the medication OP was given is a narcotic. They don't cause amnesia, but they can knock you the hell out and make you feel like you're walking on the ceiling. Doctors should have a sense of humour, as should patients. Don't expect us to be robots that just dole out diagnoses and prescriptions.

So, would you please tell me how you would be able to tell if the amnesia was caused by the medication or the head injury?

If it's happening a week later, it's probably the medicine.

Erm.... What?

If your doctor did give you meds that have amnesia as a side effect, that's just a ridiculous thing to do for a head injury. How on earth are you supposed to tell if amnesia is just a result of the meds or a genuine symptom of something being wrong?! Your doctor is an idiot OP, FYL for having to pay for that shit.

Amnesia results from a serious head injury that causes swelling in the brain. The highly trained doctor that does this kind of shit for a living probably knows what he's doing.

He probably raped you too but you couldn't remember. Or maybe he drugged you?! O.o
