A lot of them work in jobs where you really have to be on top of your game mentally and the side effect, although it only lasts a few days at a time, can really hinder the thought process. I found it helpful to keep my Palm Pilot and a cassette recorder with me so I could keep notes so I wouldn't forget things. But like I said it does pass eventually.
