> Yes, my short term memory is weird on Nardil. I repeat myself or rephrase sentences, not because I'm forgetting what I've already said, but because I lose track of what I'm saying half way through sentences and have to stop and think and then start again. It could just be the insomnia or it could be the Nardil. It's not constant, and it doesn't bother me. No one has mentioned to me that I'm doing it, but maybe I should ask...

> PX1Thanks Phoenix..It's comforting to know someone else is experiencing the same side effects..I'm not bothered by it..I found some energy today..I think I've just been too inactive..I've started to paint my dining room and feel the interest and energy returning..yahoo..
