Hi Bullock,
As one who got off of psych meds after long term use, the cognitive issues you are experiencing should improve once your sleep is restored.
After having the best night of sleep I had in weeks on Friday, I was amazed at the difference. I didn't realize how subpar I had been.
By the way, your feelings are understandable and I certainly can relate. But it does get better in due time.
And just so you're not discouraged by my experience, I think one reason why I may have sleep issues that go beyond withdrawal are due to allergies. Hard to say.
Regarding making stupid decisions on the drugs, I so relate. But I have learned from experience that it doesn't help to focus on that as I did the best I could.
Hang in there.
