I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but its entirely possible that you have brain damage. I had a brain scan (a couple, actually) while I was supposed to be sedated (I was being admitted to a mental hospital). Loads of brain damage. Antipsychotics, benzos, amphetamines...it adds up real fast.
That doesn't mean you're stupid. My doc at the mental hospital told me I have "transcendent intelligence," which I guess is what they call it when you've fried your brain (I also got hit on the head with pipe during a botched mugging) and you're still reasonably smart. The low-IQ could be depression, side effects from current meds, untreated learning disability...I don't know. I kind of doubt your IQ is actually 86. But I'm not a doctor.
I'd try this drug. I'd also try to taper off anything that might be slowing you down.
