Tension and sinus headaches do not cause memory loss. Migraine without aura has not been shown to have any cause for worry.
Migraine with aura does affect portions of the brain, and can change them permanently. They can cause white matter lesions on the brain. Which as of yet we have not been told of that affect on cognitive function for people with migraine. However, there have been studies on people who are elderly. And there was a correlation between how well they did on tests for memory - and the amount of white lesions they had. "In old age, the amount of white-matter lesions contributed 14.4 percent of the variance in cognitive scores." So, it may, but as of this time - we have no conclusive answers.

Which diet pill will help you lose a lot of weight while you are on antidepressants?
STAY AWAY FROM THE DIET PILLS! They don't deliver what they promise! Oh yes, you'll lose weight, but you can't take them forever and when you go off them you will gain not only the weight you managed to lose, but also gain more on top of that. Not only that they could interact with the medication you are on now. I was on antidepressants quite sometime ago and it's common that these meds can pack on weight. I joined Weight Watchers (no I don't work for them) and learned the tools of eating correctly, so I don't even call it a diet. I lost the 40 lbs. I needed to lose, drank 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water a day (still do) and exercised (still do.) If you follow those tips you'll lose the weight. Remember "there is no magic pill or quick fix to keeping weight off short of a good diet, water and exercise" Good luck
