Mortifying, though.

Do you know for a fact it's a medicinal effect.

Strokes can leave a similar effect - including mini-strokes (Transient Ischemic Attack). Following a minor stroke, I was left with a problem with a specific group of words - aggravate, arrogate, exaggerate, aggregate etc. I know the word I want - e.g 'arrogate', but I will say, write or type another word - e.g. 'exaggerate' or 'gravitate'. A couple of neurologists have told me it's not an uncommon residual effect of strokes.
