change your mind.I do believe some medications can impair cognitive function. I also know that cognitive impairment often depends on the individual.
I just feel you make a lot of blanket statements about medications when things are a bit more complex. Again, you seem to be primarily motivated by your negative experience. Imagine if you were one of those that had a very good experience and it continued on for a while? What would you be saying then. I think it's a good idea, no matter what experience we had, to try to reach a point where we can be a little more objective, that's all.
