Hey, are you talking about me or you!?
That describes me to a t.
200 mg Lamictal, and now 10/325 percocet and 350 mg Soma from my lumbar fusion. I fumble for words, hesitate, and downright forget words to the point that people cut me off. I snap "will you let me finish!?" often with a bad word following.
In speaking I often feel as dumb as a box of rocks (or a Pop-Tart: fruit filling for brains). But I can write, boy can I write! Though in truth, I often forget what word I want to use when writing.
