I certainly think my meds have " dumbed me down" prior to my Dx of bipolar I last year I was apparently hypomanic / manic for years with a scattering of depression .. I would work 6 out of 7 days all 12 hour shifts I let nothing bother me Because I just didnt care well it all came crashing down about 2 years ago whne i woke up in pain so bad i was sobbing ,, eventually they decided " fibro" so i tried tons of meds for that ..all useless .. became suicidal and was in the hospital for a few days .. started seeing a T he and my Pdoc saw what was so glaringly there " bipolar I " so off i go on rounds of meds to see what works and what doesnt ... I feel dumb as hell anymore ,, I fight to find words even fight to pronounce simply words ( my husband has noticed this also)

I think its a combo of meds and the diease of bipolar ...
