Memory Loss After Quitting Addiction

Hey, I was wondering, for any other people who have successfully quit their addictions...

I stopped bingeing and purging after being very severe for many years, just quit, and after that I was not on any medication...my brain chemistry was really messed up and my mood swung up and down, and i had severe emotional regression.

Now, I am finally stable in mood and emotions...but my brain feels "fried". I cannot remember anything and have an inability to focus, even when I have nothing else to stress about.

Is this something that medication could help, or have I done permanent brain damage as a result of the bulimia?
I think you should see your doctor on that - he would be able to help

I know exactly what you mean. When I give up my addictions, I feel better for a while, full of purpose, but eventually I always start to feel kind of fuzzy headed, or fried, as you said. I can't remember things. I can't read very well, I can't think clearly. It makes life very difficult and I always have trouble waiting it out. In fact, since I haven't really given up my addictions, I guess I've never successfully waited it out. When I try, I feel as if I were setting sail across the ocean and I quickly hit either the doldrums or a raging storm. I just can't seem to get past that point. How are things going for you?
