Noticed the same effect with aspirin withdrawal after a high dosage regimen.  I did not realize how much it affected my mental functioning until after getting off it.

Early 1990s IIRC.

2 am 1 evening, with food, sometimes an extra 1 or 2.  For arthritis, which then was just starting to get hamperingly bad, as opposed to the occasional "zinger."
