Went out to a restaurant with my brother and his girlfriend today and I was walking and moving so slow.

I was also having trouble hearing others like the waiter

I’ve aged so much recently

My memory and cognition is also slipping lately.

I’ll be 62 in June but I feel 80

My cognitive symptoms of sz improved slowly over 6 years while on risperidone but not dramatically. Sometimes I forget what to say or forget why I went there and I get mad at myself but its happening less than before.
