linkage, thx for your note.
i think there is a grain of truth in what Breggin has to say.
however, my experience is due partly to a negative experience i had with an old-school anti-psychotic, reglan, which is now administered for nausea in hospitals every day. after one shot of this (for vomiting and migraine, in the ER), i had a rare 1-in-500 reaction of short-term memory loss and confusion that lasted for a week in full intensity and longer before i began to feel truly normal. during that bad week, i went from a bright, talkative college student to a mute individual who had trouble figuring out my parent's advanced remote control! this was really scary.
that one experience made me tenative about other meds, because knowing that i've had some strange neuro stuff happen in the past makes me aware that it _could_ happen again.
