Now my longterm memory is sharp. I feel like my grandfather.
When I reached a certain dose, my memory was shot as well. I recall forgetting what I was talking about twenty times within the course of a single conversation that lasted probably less than that number in minutes. If I was interrupted, it was horrible. I'm thankful my memory is not that bad now.
Thanks for this!
