Ok.. so I'm a little spooked because my head just doesn't physically feel "right". It's like I can feel my over-excited brain all of the time. Like a constant energy in my head... could be pressure but I relate it to energy as that's the only way I can describe it. It also seems to become more prevalent when I actually have to think about something. Which leads me to believe that maybe I have some sort of brain damage. I'm certainly not as sharp as I was before this all began and my memory is suffering. I also don't seem to pay attention like I should be. Does this heal / go away? Does the clarity come back and the energy / pressure go away as well? I'm pretty far out from my drop date.... was hoping this was just a very acute like first few weeks thing.

Dunno if you are describing the head pressure I had . . . my head pressure is gone. Cognitive issues - still have them and they're awful but I definitely see improvement over time . . . so I'm hoping it'll keep getting better. I've gone from not remembering my birthdate and the things someone just told me to remembering more and processing a little faster. And now I know my birthdate.  :idiot: This is a really difficult thing we live with. Does anybody here have experience of getting their cognition back 90% at least?

My cog fog & memory is definitely better. I only had a week or two of severe confusion, not able to process much, and that happened 2-3 weeks after I jumped. The head/ eye pressure comes & goes, but feels like it's improving. My eyes are still red & glassy though. And have been since my taper. When m6 eyes start to clear up, I know a window is coming. When they start to get red, I know another wave is coming. But yes, those are normal withdrawal symptoms from my experience. Mine did improve after a couple weeks. (still not totally gone, though...)
