Finding hard to remember words on talking. Is it due to age or reaction of diclofenac?
human
I have in the last two weeks found it hard to remember simple words when I am talking. This is starting to bother me. I am 56, so can it be aging or drug related? I have recently started to take diclofenac for severe arthritis in my lower spine . I am also on cymbalta and lithium, as well as a stomach pill because of the diclofenac. thanks

hi..it may be early onset dementia or depressive symptoms although it will be counted upon how you feel these days..sad or normal..I don't know why you are taking lithium..may you have bipolar disorder or it may an add-on for duloxetine to treat resistant depression..so please consult your psychiatrist and a detailed mental status examination should be conducted..also a brain-imaging should be done..diclofenac is nothing to do with forgetting..have a good health after a proper consultation..
