I started Lamictal 4 months ago (added to celexa, trazodone and clonazepam) and have been ramping up the dose very slowly, up to 162.5 mg/day now. I`m starting to get little blips of memory loss where I forget for a second what I was going to say plus twice in the past week I`ve said things backwards i.e "put the jar in the juice" instead of "put the juice in the jar." It`s very scary, my work depends on my brain working properly. Anyone else experienced this and if so does it get better? I`m scared to keep increasing the dose; Dr.Goldberg says he usually has people taking 400 mg./day-can`t imagine that. I`ve tried dozens of meds and experinced lots of unpleasant, and a few scary side effects, but never this. So many people have reported good results with this drug, but I`m starting to wish I`d just get the damn rash and have an excuse to stop. It certainly hasn`t helped my depression any. Cecilia
