susan C... > I decided I should post this experience here, because maybe it is med related...sorry to repeat myself...but soemthing happened today, that I have not experienced..not like this. I have, at times, had trouble with figuring amounts and spelling (who hasn't?) but this time, it was so odd...
> I was writing a check for the lady who has been helping me with the garden. I had paid her previously for the first part. Now she was all done, and i had the bill for the remainder. I had planned this all out...I would take the first part add it to the second part and figure a tip and add the tip to the second payment...she just about choked when i handed her the check...i had added the total of both the charges plus the tip...I had double paid the first charge..needless to say, it was more than she was expecting...so, i sat and refigured it...and as she was leaving i said, if you get home and you figure out I have over paid you more than this way, put it forward to the next time you come (I am going to have her help me in the spring and fall, as my slave labor (son) will probably be gone...sigh....

> So, that is going on...and we are chatting and i am telling her about a web site, and i go get a piece of paper to write down the address...it isn't difficult, just six letters...but i try to write it at least six times and i cant get it...she is talking to me, i know part of it is concentration, but after the second, third, fourth, fifth....i mouth the words as i write and slow way down...finally I got it right...it took me at least SIX times..

> it was all there, i could see it in my brain, but my hand was not writing right.

> I have not had to do this kind of thing for a while...here on the boards, i mouth the words as i type and I can go back and re read, and edit. Can't do that in person.

> > Well, I can definately tell I am going off of this med. I have really laughed a couple times over the last week, one time at myself...The dry mouth has returned, the dreams, the itchiness, the dizziness isn't so much and and, I actually am eating something. I am still not confident to walk very far and the couch and bed are awfully attractive. There were moments of deep clarity last week, which I really appreciated. Wondering, ah, this isn't depression, this isn't manic, this is just me. At least I think that is what was happening. When I was talking with a friend, which I haven't done in a long time, I was overcome by dejavu...so, me thinks i am gettting back to where I was. I think, maybe, the keppra did do something, but it also did much more that was not good. I wait to see for a while longer and talk to doc and then, then, into the incinerator it goes.
