    Personally, after being on 1200mg and currently 900 mg, I have experienced difficulties with my memory-- both in general memory recall and short-term memory. My reading comprehension has really tanked since taking Lithium due to my weakened memory.

    But is Lithium the cause? I have no idea. I have never heard of memory loss being a side effect of Lithium from a reputable source except in one case: from An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison. She was a professor at UCLA and is currently a professor at Johns Hopkins. She suffers from manic-depressive illness and had trouble with her memory after going on Lithium.
