I've been off meds two weeks so far and I'm still in a fog. What is the
time frame for those of you who have gone through this already?
When should I become worried?

Chardonnay,
You don't need to worry. Your brain will become more clear over time, but
it will be largely your own time. That is to say from my experience and all
I've read here and in support groups online, it is a case by case indiviual
improvement. You can help by doing crosswords and playing scrabble. Don't
be spooked. It might take a week more or nine months more. It took me the
better part of a year to even notice that my thinking was becoming more
dynamic.
do your best, its all you can do afterall

I'm still waiting and I quit my last round of tx in October 2004.

hey, don't know that I'm necessarily "representative' of the group as
a whole, as was said earlier, we are all different. that being said,
I noticed an improvement within 2 days of stopping the meds.
Unfortunately, I managed to get dependent on vicodin during treatment
which added another month and a half to getting the fog out. Now that
I am drug free and starting to get some sleep finally, I feel a little
better every day. hang on, you'll get there!

Update: I cut back on the vicodin (still have a bad back) and also on
the Zoloft and my head us clearer and I have more energy.
I'm still taking selenium, milk thistle, ALA, CoQ10 and have increased
the colloidal silver. I believe these supplements have given me energy
and I'm grateful for it.
Everyone talks about getting hooked on Vicodin but it's not happening in
my case. I can quit it dead and not get withdrawals thank goodness. I
take less than what is prescribed to me.
