I just realized that I primarily use my inner monologue to study, and my monologue disappears on medication… anyone with similar experiences?

...See more For clarity, I will refer to “inner monologue” as speaking to oneself in their head. My inner monologue is quite constant and jumbled with random snippets of music, past conversations, and other junk. A while ago, I realized that the reason I get distracted while studying may be that I primarily use my (jumbled) inner monologue to comprehend and work through concepts. For this reason, I started on medication, and it works! Except… it makes the monologue disappears, meaning that I now struggle to study. Has anyone had similar experiences? And if so, how did you regain your studying abilities? Did you retrain your brain to think without an inner monologue? Or did you manage to organize your inner monologue, so as to filter unnecessary thoughts?
