I get frustrated because if the first word is wrong I am stuck going back because it doesn't make sense. Is it possible the meds are doing that? Oh and another thing, my legs have been so sore since starting meds too...has anyone ever had this problem before? Or am I out to lunch?
I think it does have to do with bp and the meds. I've always had trouble focusing, unless it's really fun or interesting then I hyperfocus. Reading has always been difficult cuz I lose my place on the page or space off, but still read and got good grades in school - I think that's my add stuff.

But since, for you, this is new, sounds like it very well could be med related. And the restless legs/pain in legs, yes, I had that with abilify and my sister experienced same thing on that drug. Hyperkinesis is a well known side affect of abilify, probably other meds too.
