I can't concentrate for s.h.i.t when I'm aggitated, or have racing thoughts... Reading anything longer than a short paragraph either irritates me, or I realize I haven't absorbed ANYTHING I've read, so I stop... Meds ANNIHILATED my cognition (and, right now I don't even know if I spelt that accurately) I lost/forgot some of my vocabulary, I couldn't spell (used to be a human spell-check) and I used to read wrong alot too. Sometimes I still do, so idk if that was a med or bp thing, as my overall cognition has greatly improved after quitting my meds. Hope someone has more definitive answers for you Christy
