Hi - I never asked him why not. I guess I felt like I was "drug seeking" or something since I'm not really miserable, just foggy and tired! I need to ask the question though. Maybe it's as Lexy said, higher risk of seizures? I don't think I'm pre-disposed to them though!
I guess I never thought about totally changing meds to get rid of this last side effect that won't go away. Maybe my "brain fog" is something else altogether, like ADD? I've just accepted all these years that I have a hard time concentrating and I'm only really "on" for a certain portion of the day or with caffeine! It's not overly debilitating, I just know I'm not working up to my potential and it seems to be getting worse over the years. I need to dig into this with my doctor.
I feel like there are so many layers to all of this. Now that I am healthier I can start peeling back more layers!
Hey - are you still planning on moving? It sounds like you will be strong and ready if you are :-)

Hi Lynne,
