It would be easier to tell you what I haven't taken than what I have. There are moments when the very few people that know I've changed meds in the past will tell me how much better I'm doing and I........... don't feel any different. Frustrating. My psych doc has flat out told me that there isn't anything better that I can take. Just different; same results.

I'm fairly confident that my brain function has changed greatly. I have hobbies that include many very complex tasks and when I can't remember something that should be like 'riding a bike' disappears from my thought process it's ....... depressing.

We're all different. Some do fantastic. Others not so much. I hope that you feel better soon. It's a very uncomfortable feeling to think your brain is being cooked. I've come to accept the fact that I'm going to have my brain scrambled a bit until they toss my ashes where ever the fuck they want.



The best thing I ever did was to start using Marijuana daily. It was recommended by my old psych doc. I'm not saying you should try this. Ask you drug pusher doc about it. Some don't react well to it but my creative process is enhanced. Or, I think it's enhanced.



At the risk of sounding like a Walgreens employee; "be well".
