—I think people are affected differently. I can’t remember the words I want when speaking right now on a higher dose of only 2 drugs and a third as needed, but I am very stressed, so I can’t tell. My guess is it’s stress. I know I won’t do well off meds.
If you need a cocktail then you need it, but I would make lifestyle changes before I would use more drugs. What triggers you, what stresses you? How can you make your life easier and-or more rewarding? I do best with a fulfilling routine.
