Thanks you guys. Most of the time I have a sense of humor about it all but when thinking of going to work or taking classes, I can't see the humor in it.

My neuro did mention that the Celexa that I am on may be causing some of the problems as well as some others. It is my understanding that the neuropsychologist will be able to tell if it is the meds. I know that when I 1st started on Celexa my PCP started me on a higher dose. It wired me up so much my brain was all over the place and it did not and still doesn't do much to break the pain cycle, the reason I am on it. So I can see how the Celexa may contribute to some of the issues I am having and would have no problem going off it not only for the cognitive stuff but the possibility it is causing seizure like activity.

In the meantime, I am going to try an experiment. I am going to supplement with vitamin b12 and b6 with folate to see if it helps with cog issues and nerve pain. I may even ask my PCP for a b12 shot to see if I have any improvement. (I see him next week). I'll let you all know how my experiment goes.
