I am very surprised about my memory right now. I had sz 36 years, finally had the surgery, have been sz-free since (4.5 years). I started reducing lamictal 4 3years ago and have been med-free 3 mos. My memory is coming back with a vengence. I am shocked. I never realized how much of the problem was meds. I am actually remembering peoples' names and my dyslexia is GONE! I think the meds caused far more problems than the szs ever did.
