However, it's important to separate out what is a legitimate assessment of intellectual impairment. I think it is unlikely that anyone of us is permanently disabled because of these drugs. I had convinced myself that I was impaired, and clearly I am at times. But soon after one of those 'episodes,' I find myself comprehending fairly difficult material while studying (I'm a graduate student in physical chemistry.) So take your self assessments with a grain of salt!
