Folks,
As many of you know, I've had a pattern of once- or twice-montly binge drinking over the past year, usually to black out and/or stupor.
I'd been having very clear thoughts lately, but went out Tuesday and drank myself silly.
Since then I've had a hard time focusing, that is, my thoughts have been disorganized and my memory inhibited. It's like my brain is firing all over the place, and I can't slow it down. I can't focus.
I was wondering: is it possible to develop a syndrome such as Wernicke–Korsakoff from this pattern over a year or so? I take vitamin B supplements and exercise regularly, yet I am scared these jumbled, disorganized thoughts won't disappear. Again, I was feeling an improvement before my drinking last week.
I just want my head to stop racing! It's not obsession, it's just a complete inability to concentrate. Almost a physical sensation in my brain.
Is this going to pass? Do you think I have Wernicke–Korsakoff Syndrome? Or another permanently debilitating disability?
Would an AP help with this? I have a prescription for Zyprexa and some Geodon left over. Wondering which might help with this. Also experiencing a mild depression.
TIA,
amd
