I abuse this by asking does someone here maybe know more about this problem I am describing?

--> extreme cognitive decline after anticholinergics -> which is basically what can be expected cause it is written up all over scientific literature that it is a consequence upon taking them. I was highly gifted / hyperintelligent but my GP never did mention this side effect... I have a very low body weight (underweight heavily) and he didn't bother given me too large quantities anyway. I feel like he wanted to make sure that all my brain is completely collapsing from any function...
Now I am feeling like I have dementia, I am in the beginning of my 30ies. Since I have been ill all my life - and CFS got mentioned from 16 - I didn't have much of a life but since I am highly intelligent this was for me every reason to be still around here... and it was enough for me. Now my brain is dead and I am not the same person anymore, not even close. I am afraid how this will continue...
I orderede fosphatidylserine and huperzine A, upon taking it i got extremely headache (unfortunately i stopped with the anticholinerga already monts and months before cause another GP noticed it and thought it was completely crazy...). No positive change...
I do take lecithin and ginseng root.
Anyone having any ideas? Everything is welcome, I am as desperate as can be and getting depressed - something i won't be able to escape, esp more worrisome is that this is typical in dementia onset, especially in gifted people...
thank you very much
See above. I have COMT +/+ and do NOT have sufficient dopamine. COMT +/+ is only one way to lessen dopamine degredation.Choline helps if you have excess dopamine (Ex: people with COMT++)
