If only that were true for everyone. In my own case, I only took some of these meds fairly short-term (1-3 months) and almost 10 years ago. While there has been some small, hard-won improvement (with significant effort), my vocabulary and some other issues are still not what they were before. I'm resigned that they may never return even by half, and I may never be the creative person I was.

Is it serendipitous that this showed up today (now yesterday)?

Rat Research Suggests Drug Therapy May Reverse Memory Loss

Swell—more meds to counter the side effects of meds. What will the side effects of this drug therapy be, and will it ever end?

If there's anything to it, it's likely 10 years off—at least.
