Last days, my memory became more weak. That's not good.

I'm still having trouble in studying and learning. I have career license examination but I can't prepare for it. I don't read or study. My focus and concentrate are away. Headache is on and high all of the time.

Did you try the things that were recommended to you MRwhy?  You have tried the supplements but did you try any of the other things.  Sometimes in life there is not a pill that we can take.
I worry that you are so worried about feeling better you are going to go to extremes to do it.
B12 will help along with lemons and oranges.  There are meditation techniques that help and it is something that I would recommend for you because it seems as though you have trouble shutting your mind off.  If you cannot learn to become friends with yourself and trust yourself it is going to be difficult to find peace.

There are lot of ways to improve your concentration.  I agree with what Crystal said and that is the first time I have read someone recommend Lumosity but it does help.  Also sometimes, like Justhelp was saying, our IQ can be exhausted and I know that you worry a lot so that may be something to do with it.  If you worry so much it takes away from the energy that is needed to concentrate on your studies.
I would also recommend journaling if you are not already doing that.  If you have something that you cannot figure out with mental stamina it helps to write it down and break it into pieces so that the problem becomes smaller.

MR_WHY , I understand your frustration.  I have gone through periods of it and am just (hopefully) getting out of one as my dosage returns to consistency.  I think the issue is with my Lamictal, The meds do take time, and it can take even longer than we want.  The 50 avg. IQ doesn't last too long for me.  Feels like forever, but will pass.  A call or email do your p-doc would help.  I actually talked to them about splitting my doses between morning and noon.  That helped a lot, even if it was somewhat of a placebo effect probably.

Try a program on line called Luminosity. They give you a free trial and after that the cost is minimal. It's actually fun and covers the areas you need help on.
