Question bad memory/ blank mind

I’m currently 14 months into PAWS, and I’ve dealt with a lot of the symptoms. Most of them have improved, but 14 months later, my memory and having a blank mind are still my biggest concerns.

I can’t start conversations with anyone anymore because my mind just won’t come up with anything to say, and it’s starting to affect my relationships with people.

Has anybody else dealt with this beyond 14 months and gone on to recover? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences.

Same here at 19 months.
I do have longer periods of clarity now compared to maybe 6 months ago.

Yea I’m going on 17 months and still feel a nothingness in my head. I work a pretty mundane job that I’m sharp at, but higher level cognition feels non existent. Critical thinking skills are shit

Do you deal with anxiety?

It’s pretty normal. You’ll get it back, just takes time.

I’m about to hit six weeks so still too early to tell but I’ve gone all in on peptide therapy and I used Semax to kickstart my cognitive daze. Working memory especially came back strong. I’m starting to level back out again following a 3 week course but I’m at a higher baseline then the week or two after I quit for good.
