How long does recovery take?

[Dvorak_King]

Hi, first post here (came fromr/antipsychiatry, the only place that believed me)
So I was a hypersensitive brain (not a good thing), growing up bread used to brain fog me, and I psychometrically track my cognitive status.

I first took buspirone 2022 for anxiety. 1st pill within 5 minutes made my legs feel magical, slowed down my saccades instant CNS depression, my brain never went back to operating to its pre drug psychomotor performance. saccades became faster than when I was off drugs but slower than what I was born with. then I took hydroxyzine for anxiety, that reduced my saccades/psychomotor speed again and jacked up my episodic memory for a bit.

i then took a bentyl/zofran (anticholinergic/5ht3 antagonist, respectively - for GI issues), they sedated me and still haven't recovered psychomotor speed(I now take twice the time than what it'd take me to do tasks before this), my phonological loop went from being able to store 14-15 digits to 10-11 digits worth of normally recited audible memory. My short term memory is shot, can't remember what sequences to do or what I just thought/did, so I can't even do math. I'm taking calc 1 and my algebra is horrible. (I've always been good at math).

Everyone talks recovery but not specifically, especially in terms of processing speed, and even less about psychomotor speed and even less about it through saccade measurement...
Does anyone have input how long this index recovers substantiated by this specific measurement and if it even does to a certain extent? I'd also like to know about audible memory (phonological loop memory) recovery.

I have always been of high capacity but sat on it, I'm getting to the point where if I don't cash it in soon the world is going to make me out to be someone who always thought of themselves as grandiose, so for now I'll focus on "accomplishing" myself so I can have some neurotypical currency to substantiate who I say I am because this shit world likes to judge before they listen to you.

Could you clarify a bit?

Recovery takes as long as it takes, I don't think there's any formula for it, and if it exists, it's vague.

If your speaking about cognition specifically, things like exercise, reading, and good diet can go a long way.

you know when you first stop and some of your brain speed comes back? I’m asking if more recovery of brain speed happens, and if so how long does it take

That would vary based on the individual. I don't think that usually it's a yes or no kind of answer. Without more information it's hard to say what's exactly going on, but this is the first time I've heard of someone having cognitive issues from buspirone. I don't know much about ondasetron, other than that it's used to stimulate appetite; doesn't look like it's an anticholinergic from a quick lookup.

Sigh I guess I’m hypersensitive. My saccades are slower now. I’ll hold out for hope because it came by last 2 negative past experiences. Thanks for replying tho
