Calling All Brain-Damaged Analysts

The recent post concerning the fellow with the brain injury got me motivated to improve my own life in a similar way. I too suffered a massive concussion in a not-my-fault car collision two months ago.

So, I went on Amazon and ordered every single one of those supplements and nootropics he recommended. I'm up to 28 pills/capsules a day and the only difference I've noticed is severe heartburn and occasional lucidity.

My girlfriend broke up with me due to my newfound irritability and my parents fired me because I forgot the formula for bond yield. 

To anyone else who has been here before: how did you overcome this battle?

I'd prefer not to do any reading/exercise/dieting but am open to any and all suggestions.
