Suggest treatment for short term memory loss, depression and confusion
human
Hello: I'm have been experience  short term memory loss over the last couple weeks, that has progressively gotten worse over the last several weeks. I began taking cymbalta some weeks back for depression.  I'm backing off trazadone. Also I'm having moments of electrical feelin's of head sensations along with confusion. Are these side effects from my meds? Or are they neurological problems that I should be concern with?

Confusion  and electric sensation  require  neurological  work up. Burning  or electrical  sensation  can occur  in depression  also.So proper  psychological  and  neurological  evaluation  yield  better  diagnosis.Continue  to take medicines  and follow  up  are advisable .Proper  and regular  treatment  will give better  and fast  recovery.There  are  other  modality  of  treatment  too  like  psychotherapy  and ECT.Discuss  with  your  treating  doctor .Glad  to  hear  from  you .Thank  you .
