Does anyone else out there get just slow and stupid when you're not at your best?
I have been a complete ditz lately. I walked into a doorjam this morning. I feel just... slow... This is the opposite of thoughts racing. This is like my thoughts are all on vacation indefinitely. I can't function when my brains are pudding like this! ARRRRGGHHHH! That is all. :P

Oh yes, I completely understand and get that way! Inability to concentrate is a big problem with me.
It's really hard. My husband keeps asking if I need anything and I tell him, "Yes...a new brain".

Are you taking any mood stabilizers or anti-psychotics? Some of them can make your brain mush.
I recently got a DSiXL that came with Brain Age Express: Math and I've been doing it every day since I got it. Seems to help out a bit, which I can tell b/c it keeps track of your times and gives you a graph of your progress. |

I can relate to your feelings, especially when I was on Seroquel IR. Made my brain feel like mush. Switched to Seroquel XR and felt so much better.

Did you start one of those meds recently? Could just be a reaction to that. I do the same things sometimes but I always blame it on being blonde, lol.

Well, if you were fine before the medication and now you are having issues, you may want to discuss that with your pdoc. That could indicate a coordination problem which is a side effect of the medications. That can be dangerous especially if you are driving and slow to react. Maybe a different combination of medications would work better. I am on Lamictal and Geodon and have no side effects for either.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
