Speaking of memory loss and Lamictal....I have short term and long term memory loss and Lamictal is the only thing I've been taking so I can't blame it on anything else. As for that....I can't remember where I put things & can't find them for the longest, put things in weird places (like milk in the pantry), my vocabulary has taken a plunge and things come out of my mouth that are not what I had planned to say---like stumbling over words (the wrong words) and stuff like that. It's really gotten bad.
When I was taking risperdal (and I can't remember what I was taking it for) it was wonderful. I didn't miss a beat---every word that I had ever read came to my mind/mouth like magic! My vocabulary was stunning--I impressed myself!
Since my memory is so horrible now, I have thought about asking about Risperdal again. The only thing I can remember about it - other than that I loved it - was weight gain. That was the reason I stopped. Anyway, I was thinking it might erase the memory loss.
If anyone has found a magic cure for memory loss on lamictal, I would love to hear about it.
