Reply to comment by minicpst in An anti-seizure medication shows promise in reducing the likelihood of heavy drinking, desire to drink, and positive alcohol expectancies, according to new research by chrisdh79

Brain fog is the single worst side effect a drug can have IMO. I loath getting sick and having to take cold meds. Nothing feels real, I can’t orgasm, I can’t think, but at least I don’t have a stuffy head.

I don't take cold meds for this reason. Or drink alcohol (even before I was on meds that prohibited it). I hate not being able to think.

So now I have epilepsy, I can't remember my cats' names sometimes (they're not all new to me), and I'm constantly brain foggy. The universe does like to laugh sometimes.
