I hope not, but I fear they do. My brain feels slower after the meds. My expertise lies in breaking down complex scenarios and putting them back together in new and improved ways. I'm fearful my ability to do that effectively is being compromised. I feel like I could go back to work and do it, but it wouldn't be as easy for me as it used to be. Also, I feel like my extreme psychotic episode fried my brain and changed me. It is hard to distinguish if the meds are to blame or if the shock my brain experienced is the culprit.

My doctors are talking about possibly taking me off meds in a few months. I might find out the answer to this.
