Charlie Sheen Suffers Memory Loss and Mood Swings, Blames HIV Medication: Sources
Legendary party animal Charlie Sheen admits his hard life of sex, drugs, booze, and hookers has left him battling “borderline dementia.” The HIV-ravaged former Two and a Half Men star, 57, is telling pals he’s suffering memory loss, mood swings, and even struggles with simple tasks due to the side effects of the powerful drugs he needs to keep the deadly virus in check, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Charlie confessed the medications “kept me suppressed and alive, but I struggled with a constant migraine and, at times, borderline dementia.” Once the highest-paid man on TV, humbled Sheen has cleaned up his act and said he’s feeling much better after taking an experimental medication called PRO 140.
A doctor consulted by RadarOnline.com believes the actor is likely far from out of the woods.
“The symptoms of dementia may not be an outgrowth of his medications alone,” New York internist Dr. Stuart Fischer said. “You cannot discount the years of drugs and alcohol abuse along with dangerous sexual promiscuity.”
