You know questionmark, part of the issue is that once you have brain damage, it's harder to remember what your brain used to be like. It would be hard to evaluate.
At this point, having not taken anything for a month after having taken about 5 year's worth of SSRI's and one atypical AD, I feel that my brain is normal as it always was. Howevever, I have gone through periods after withdrawals where I seemed manic (even though I don't have a BP dx), or where I had problems with memory, involuntary muscle twitches, headache, and learning. These all returned to normal with time.
Is there any med in particular you're looking at? Are you looking to treat anything in particular.?
