hello there, chemist here...AMD, we all make mistakes....some are due to lateness of the hour, some are not realized as such until it's far to late, and some might actually be deliberate should one, say, wish to determine whether or not an expected outcome confirms or denies what one suspects.
thanks for providing the answer...

I must have really messed with the chemicals in my brain this time around, and I'm wondering if my normal self will ever reappear.**** who can say? your ``normal self'' is not evident to me, a person with whom you communicate via the internet. your posts seem rather consistent, although that is hardly a measure of neurodegeneration. i wouldn't worry about it if i were you...****

> It is possible I had a stroke?*** anything is possible, AMD...even the ``rare'' and ``life-threatening'' adverse reactions one might expect to occur should they bite off more of a bitter pill than they can chew, so to speak, do not necessarily manifest themselves. however, the warnings and advisories are there to ensure that you and the doctor take steps to ensure that both parties benefit most and leave little to chance, should a potentially fatal interaction as described in fact be of concern. ****
Or have done some permanent chemical damage? I'm frightened I'll go to work this week and simply blank out on the job. Planning a project; feeling creative: I just feel incapable of these right now. Depression? Damage? Both? Treatable?
**** well, it is a week past this post - sorry about getting back to you just now - so i must apologize as i am in no position to even surmise how you fared during the past week. in the interest of edification for all of us here at PB: did you blank out as feared, and fail to complete your project as you had planned? if the answer is no, then even more reason to let this issue rest. you'll be just fine.....all the best, chemist
