> PhilPhil, I went up on my clonazepam from the usual .5mg at bedtime to 1.0mg for over a week and started having trouble with mistakes as well. Maybe a click down on the clonazepam would help? Of course, any of the others could be offenders as well.. I've heard of cog troubles at higher end doses of Lamictal and the olanzapine in the Symbyvax could be fogging you up. Have you been on the Symbyvax for quite a while? The biggest instigator of cognitive messiness for me is sleep deprivation (esp. med-induced sleep dep.). Are you sleeping pretty soundly? I've found over the years that more clonzepam at night for sleep doesn't work any more (it *does*, but just for a few days)-- Mitch
