OMG! It's hard to admit this, but I thought the symptoms described here (forgetfulness, fog, inconsistency) were being HELPED by the drug. I gave up coffee and most caffeine as I got older, also. Once upon a time I was extremely anxious- I took Ritalin for ADHD, it became too much, and tried some things before landing on WB about 10 years ago. I took it during my pregnancy (perfect child, BTW- so smart and beautiful, not just to his mama) after trying to go off. i just found out I have thyroid disease, and I suspect it's played a huge role in the lethargy and spaciness. SO... I called my doc to go off. The key for me is getting enough rest and exercising, along with meditation to stay grounded. I will check back to let you know how it goes. I do have to say- man-made drugs are the invention of Western medicine, and while they have no doubt saved lives, there are other cultures that use far more natural remedies that have been successful for centuries. Do your research- don't put your faith in one doctor or philosophy. Drive your own good health!
