if you find yourself loosing skills after starting a new med, do not take it lightly. some losses are permanent. it is important not to tolerate toxic side effects in the hope of lessening of 'symptoms'.

I'm so glad to hear others talk about retraining the brain and neuroplasticity. I have been working with this with struggling learners for over 3 years. It's has been researched and validated, I have seen it work first hand. It is the most amazing thing I have ever been a part of. It is catching on but it is still in it's infancy. For mental health issues - not very many professionals know how to implement it. Others are doing it for themselves or with professional without really knowing it. Some organizations are claiming to have a program to change the brain - the most important thing you can do it ask for the research - validation studies. PC and The "SmartBrains" website is doing a pretty good job of keeping us informed.
Check out Dr. Norman Doidge...you may see me use his quotes a lot.
