Hi.
I think the appearance of the nightmares was very likely the result of the Lamictal. It is a common complaint.

It doesn't sound as if you are experiencing any profound impairments in cognition. On the contrary, it appears that Lamictal has had a positive effect for you as it might be treating with some success the depression and the cognitive symptoms that are attendant to that disorder. If you want to experiment, I think you are justified in wanting to know what is the lowest effective dose. However, if you feel worse for more than a week after a dosage reduction, I would say that the higher dosage is probably optimal as long as you tolerate it well.
