I'm sorry. That's a really rough situation. The brain seems to have an ability to bounce back from a lot of abuse, or at least the mind does. If it makes you feel better, I have LOTS of brain damage--childhood head injuries, a blow to the head during a botched mugging (for some reason, dude was carrying a pipe, which he used to smash my head), and of course, "medication" induced brain damage. My shrink at the mental hospital I was thrown into a couple years ago said I have some sort of "transcendent intelligence." I looked it up, and the brain (or..something) can transcend damage to the organ itself. Also, people with certain kind of brain damage sometimes become more spiritual. Its strange.
So, OK, enough about me. My point is, if I can take a lickin' and keep on tickin', then I'm sure you can, too. I seriously doubt I'm all that special. Just give it some time and be patient with yourself.
Don't worry too much about having messed with your brain with this supplement. I mean, I take loads of supplements (Orthomolecular protocol--its helped me a lot), so I see where you're coming from. This particular product just isn't for you. Maybe you should work with your shrink and do a temporary medication adjustment to smooth things over for a little while. I have no idea *what* you could change, but I mean, a shrink is a doctor, so they probably have some ideas. Maybe Provigil?
Good luck!
