I read that avoidants have problems remembering other peoples names here - http://www.tljones.co.uk/apd/apd.htm

I'm terrible at remembering names.

For instance, now I was try to recall a group to stick a Spanish song in MY THREAD and I have to look for the name in google. And it´s a band really well known by me.

The day before yesterday in an appointment, I seem silly when I try to replay to a question or I try to beggin a topic because there are a word or a name I can´t remember. I didn´t go much importance but ...

Can someone related to this?

Yes it can be a side effect of your medication. I am on adderall for ADD and I forget things all the time. It's not severe to the point where I have total amnesia. I will just have a bad memory with some things. Especially if I take something out of the fridge and put it down. Later I will ask "who the hell took this out and didn't put it back!?" They all say it was me.
