1- Lyrica... at 600 mgs spread thru out the day, I felt better but my memory was horrid. Now at 150 mg spread thoughout the day, my moods stay more stable... suicidal turns into "okay" within an hour but my memory is very unreliable. Actually, if I think about my recent behavior, it combines chatty spaciness and amnesia-like gaps.
2- Is there any point in having a brain scan (fMRI, MRI, PET, Spect) to see if there is damage to an area of my brain? It might make me a little less hard on myself. It also might encourage me to do things that might encourage "neuroplasticity."

Dorsolateral Syndrome: This covers my long range complaints. Anyone even know where the dorsolateral such and such is in the brain. Are there pictures online?
Sorry if this seems kinda pointless... I can be clearer but I just don't have the energy to be a "good writer.'
