Scott,
I had done this search. I guess I was not reading research or abstracts like I did for Selegiline and Stablon.
Stuff like "blueboy" might have been alluding to.
I complained of learning problems and memory stuff for several years. No one (family and gp) believed me. It was obvious even to an employer who ended up having to fire me because of it. She did not understand why I could learn the stuff so easily and the next day not have any recall. That was very simple stuff. She came out and asked me because she thought it was so strange.
Anyway my gp finally took me seriously and had an MRI done which showed a few small white spots on my brain. He said it was nothing but since I had such complaints sent me to a neurologist. I had about three hours of testing. The report said I had several cognitive deficits as compared to persons my age range and socio-economic background. To include word retrieval, spatial memory, learning problems of some sort and several others I do not recall I cried for days. Knowing it myself was one thing having it in my face was another. I am supposed to have gone back already for a yearly to see if there is further decompensation. I do not think I will ever go back. It all makes me feel like my life is over. I wanted to finish school or at least take more classes. Since I began to notice these difficulties about 8 years ago I tried to take one class it was a disaster. I am not able to learn and retain enough to go back to school. Another ambition bites the dust.
I have learned to compensate mostly for everyday things this affects although I constantly loose things am easily confused etc But some of this could be the depression.
The neurologists report suggested cocaine use and Parnate. This was wrong I think because I went back to school and worked with no problem during and after the cocaine use and Parnate.
