"Enjoy it!" It never ceases to amaze me how callous doctors can be.
A lot of weird stuff has happened to me since my TBI. In my case, I think it's hard to know what's a med side effect and what's just the injury. I'm inclined to think my outbursts of temper are the result of my mashed frontal lobe. On the other hand, I'm convinced the tegretol for my spinal damage is making my headache worse.
You're raising a really good question here. For the most part, doctors can't honestly explain what many drugs, like SSRIs, do in normal brains. I think when a brain is damaged, all bets are off.
Cheers
