				 Memory Loss HELP! 
 Hey guys and gals.I'm a 20 year old male, and about a year ago, I began having many problems remembering things. My whole life I have never been able to remember names, but that's normal. I now can not even remember faces. I began forgetting things like where I was going, and what not. Slowly, it's gotten progressively worse.
 Nowadays I can't even remember why I am holding items at the grocery store, or where I am going sometimes. I forget I ever even had entire conversations, and there are often hours of the day that I cannot account for. My thought processes are slower, I have a huge lack of concentration.
 
 My only thought was about that same time, I was put on the medication Provigil, which is designed to keep me awake more. I  used to sleep way too much (16 hours/day). Now I get about 3-6 hours of sleep per day.
 
 My question is do any of you have this problem? Is it normal? Has anyone taken this medication? ANY IDEAS AT ALL?!?!?!?
 
 Thanks guys!
 Stevo
