Some symptoms can be caused by the need to adjust to being off the meds.

I disagree with bh_pcs about doing self-therapy. I suggest finding activities that keep your mind marginally busy, more like 'occupied' to help you through the boredom. Challenging your brain with taxing tasks may be too much right now. Better to get to a stable position before working on regaining cognitive and memory skills.

The goal is to get past the uncomfortable and disorienting symptoms before working on challenging the brain to regain skills.

It is very easy to regain skills compared to getting recovery from the physical symptoms.
I'm assuming you know what your brain can handle. I'm not telling you to overexert yourself, Crystal. People who are motivated get tired of people telling them they can't do anything to help. So why not do it yourself?

No one will help you unless you help yourself. And in this case, No one can actually help you because they don't know either.

I swear, there really needs to be some sort of system that can be developed to handle the emotional and cognitive components for recovery. Neurologists can only do so much.

Trying to get to a no med baseline sounds like a worthwhile idea unless the symptoms get too rough.
