> I have had an increase in brain fog over the last 5 years and it's gotten to the point where I feel a lot of pressure in my head/eyes and have poor memory and concentration and the world feels far away. I'm not sure if it's related to medication, diet, or anything else. Been on medications for over 13 years. I am starting a gluten free diet and have seen a little improvement in the last 2 weeks but still struggling.
> Anyone had any success relieving brain fog? If so, what caused it, what'd you do, and how are you now?

An atypical antipsychotic might be worth looking into. I am partial to Abilify and Zyprexa. Many people describe Zyprexa as producing clarity of thought. It is unfortunate that it has metabolic side effects. Saphris is a drug to take note of.It is critical to reduce anxiety in order to address your cognitive impairments. If modafinil, ampthetamine, atomoxetine, methylphenidate, and donepezil don't produce improvements, then you might need to check out an AP or a benzodiazepine. I wonder if Trileptal would be helpful.
Is there any bipolar stuff going on with you or family members?
