Some brain fog is normal for me since I’ve had at least a little brain fog every day the last 10 years, but lately its been much worse. I’m zoned out the vast majority of the time and make mistakes you’d expect from somebody not paying full attention. Its really cutting into my productivity at a time I’m trying to work more to take care of some financial issues before they get worse. If I could get rid of the brain fog completely, that would be nice, but if I could just get it back to the way its been the last decade, that’s acceptable.

I don't believe I've ever had the "fog" and I've been taking Grape Seed Extract for decades. Counting on it to keep a good memory to my end.
The OP has said nothing about memory problems. Once again you have stepped in to a topic about which you have no experience (by your own admission) or anything other than some irrelevant personal anecdote to contribute.
OP IIRC you take one or more other medications for mental health issues correct? I'd discuss your brain fog with your doctor.
I am hesitant to answer this post, but maybe I can be helpful.
I am not exactly sure what you mean by brain fog, but you do mention not paying "full attention." And that you are twenty-three years old.
One possibility is that you have adult ADHD -- attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder. There is one particularly common subtype -- as the indicated by the qualifying phrase "predominantly inattentive subtype."
Please go to it, print it out and fill it out as accurately and honestly as you can.
ADHD is a clinical diagnosis -- usually there is a constellation of "inattentive" symptoms which suggests the diagnosis.
Pardon me for the next sentence: I know what I am talking about, having worked in psychiatry, diagnosing and treating ADHD in adolescents and adults.
ADHD is a real disorder, and not some fiction made up by doctors and pharmaceutical companies. 4-5% of the population are never diagnosed as children or adolescents and continue to have this disorder in their adult life.
At any rate, do the self-report and if your answers point toward an ADHD diagnosis, then take the self-report and see a psychiatrist, to confirm (or refute) or diagnosis and if confirmed, to treat the condition.
If you have ADHD, and if you are put on the right medication at the proper dose, it makes a huge difference. I have heard how much of a difference it makes from my patients.

Brain fog can definitely come from medications, also depression. Call your MD.
Before you start spending money on supplements you may not need and that may not help, go see your doctor. You say you're working more. Are you getting plenty of sleep?

I'm talking about "fog issues" which all affects the brain!!!!
And certainly listen to your MD as they know best???? They give you every drug imaginable.

I go to bed at a time to allow at least 8 hours of sleep, though I often lay awake in bed a long time before I fall asleep. When its time to get up, I struggle waking up.
