Hi Randy,
No problem, I completely understand the memory issues many of us face. By the way, you were very courageous to speak so openly about it. I used to feel ashamed of my memory problems and would hide them. Through years of therapy with my neuropsychologist, I learned to accept them and live with them without shame.
Now, on days when my brain isn't working well, I give myself permission to take time off. I've learned that pushing myself to do something I know will be difficult on those days brings more harm than good.
I'm not sure I understood your question correctly. Were you asking where I found the article about how long it takes to adjust to a new AED? Here's the link again:

Let me know if that's not what you were asking!
Chris

@santosha now i recall too many things crossing bridges in my mind. you first got this one spot on- the other was you were going to do a video chat or something and ask me some questions. that's all i have. its been a long day already. are you still in Brazil or stateside?
