Well, I had really bad attention and memory (short term and long term recall) for the last few months because of the depression. That's getting better. I feel almost "clear" today. Which is kind of nifty. i think a lot of this is because I had such intractable insomnia since february. when I was able to get some slep (b/c of seroquel, started about 2 weeks ago) i think a lot of the cognitive stuff started to mend itself. But these dream/reality issues feel different than the attention problems related to the depression. I'm going to keep track of it for sure.
I always wonder how wise it is to mess with sleep. I mean, so much important memory consolidation happens during sleep. If I'm messing with my sleeping brain by taking seroquel, I may very well be messing with my memory consolidation. What i experienced is a classic source-memory error (part of normal adult cognition), although the scope of it (entire episodes with ripe details) is pretty unusual.
Thanks for your insight B2C :)
