How come I am more able to express myself and articulate my thoughts when I am on SSRI's as opposed to off them?? When I am off them I really have a hard time explaining what I have to say concerning issues that have a lot of depth to them (politics etc) so in turn I tend not to involve myself in these convos...but SSRI"s seem to help me convey my message in a much more lucid manner...As I am weening myself off it now I am starting to have trouble communicating..Worse then I was before i went on meds...
Well my question is do you know why SSRI's sharpen my ability to communicate?? Is there a certain component in SSRI's that contains this property..?? Can I get this effect from any natural suplement?? If it matters I seem more articulate when I am in a very mild hypomania type mood..which the meds often induce..I have a theory that this side effect just might be making me brighter...(also might have to do with the effect the meds have on the hipocamus..)
Also are there any sites I can go to or whatever on information on how to train the brain..so I am able to express myself more easily...cause i know I am not the only one with this problem...It's almost like a mild form of expressive aphasia..there has to be vocabulary building exercises or something....but it was great just to pop a pill everyday and get this effect...
