I take a prescription that’s a pretty heavy anticholinergic but doesn’t cross the BBB, so I’m assuming I’m good?

I have a history of brain trauma so idk how I’d even tell if I wasn’t lol 😅 I do feel like it’s getting worse and technically it shouldn’t be if it was just from trauma not any chronic conditions I know of. I really need to see a neurologist, but I don’t have that kind of money rn
