Folks,
I'm going nuts. Over the past couple of days, I've felt myself slipping into a depression, and the worst side effect right now is that I can't seem to concentrate on what I'm reading. I feel, seriously, mentally retarded. I have to speak out loud, under my breath, what I'm reading. What is going on? Is this going to pass? Ugh!
The only thing I can think that I did differently over the past week or so was that I smoked some marijuana last weekend -- only one hit, but it was a /strong/ hit and pretty much zapped my short-term memory for the evening. Is it possible this a latent effect of that? If so, how long does this last?
I'm also on Celexa and Lamictal, and popped a Geodon today to try to slow my head. But I wonder if it's time to change meds.
But this reading thing -- I love to read, but doing it now gives my brain a "tingle" (that sounds crazy, I know, but it really does), and because I can't seem to focus, I immediately get more depressed.
Any ideas?
