I remember way back that the Gab made me very loopy but the neurologist said to stick with it for two months and the side effect should fade. It did. I cannot afford to be dim witted just now with all on my plate but as my life settles I will consider trying the meds. There is no reason to continue to be in this pain. I had hoped to see improvement in sobriety and being medicated I would not be able to realize my gains but it is evident that any improvement will be a long slow process and I am getting worn.
