Well the side effects from withdraw off meds can be daunting, though I haven't been on yours, but the fogginess does go away. I didn't even realize how bad it was till I got off the drugs.

I'm sure if you ask you wife she has a "honey do" list to keep you occupied for months. Most of us do. Even if she doesn't houses always need work, wash walls or the siding, clean gutters, etc. It's neverending. Even porn stars don't look that good in real life. For one do you really want someone wh...
