I imagine that there'll be a lot of variability here, but I was just wondering how people judged whether a med was having a positive/negative effect, particularly when your condition also imparts hefty impairments on cognition.
Naturally, it was easier for me to judge when I was more intellectually active, but not currently being at university or working leaves me in a kind of free fall. I think I just hate the idea that something might be leaving me worse off in the long run without me really knowing it. I'm an (ex)writer and half my vocabulary's already disappeared through the tolls of fighting my illness(es). I'd love to return to the profession someday but just hope that enough of me remains intact.

I feel others didn't notice the spelling I didn't and wouldn't of if you hadn't pointed it out. Phillipa

Not a whole lot since I've effectively given up on life.
(Sorry, that's probably the depression talking but it's mostly true).
