Interesting article on psychosis and memory. I've certainly noticed, since my first break over a year ago, that my memory and cognitive abilities has lowered dramatically. Assuming IQ tests are an accurate tool to measure intelligence, can anyone relate to this or even agree, this article makes some very strong points.

I swear my iq dropped 15-25 points but after a break from meds its like it repaired....my T said that I'd have to have structural damage to have a drop like that but I think the meds inhibit some sort of post psychosis repair process. All I know is the meds aren't decreasing my iq this time only making me slower. It may have also just been time and not the meds but who knows....all I know is I'm perfectly fine now.
