Good to know. I'll ask the pharmacist. I can get a therapist but I probably can't get into see a neuropsychologist easily. I will try though. Thanks. I've gone to 400 mg from 550 mg lamictal. I'll see if it helps.

Speak with your psychiatrist

I recommend speaking with your psychiatrist. My experience with all mood stabilizers is that they impair memory, and over time it just seems like I have lost a lot. On the other hand, the alternative of going without the medications would definitely be worse for me.
