> Hi there! I've been on Nardil 75 mg for the past 7 months, and on Lamictal, 300 mg for over a year. I have had HUGE memory issues lately. Small ones for sure, but big ones too. I went out to dinner and a week later I could not recall even going. The very same thing happened a few days later also. Then I left my dog in the car and forgot to bring him in. He was in there for 9 HOURS. I didn't realize I forgot him until I was going to bed. Luckily I live in FL, my car was in the garage, and it was cool in there. Had it have been summer, he would not have survived. My family is quite concerned about the memory loss. There was also a time when I was taking a shower and there was a bottle of shampoo in there. I didn't know how it got there. My sister said she gave it to me- I had no recollection of it. Things like that are waaaay scary.
This is EXACTLY what is happening to me! i've been on 400 mg of lamictal for a year and at first it gave me added clarity, but now i can barely see straight. the only time i have any clarity is when i drink alcohol the night before. I feel great hungover. If i stop the lamictal for a day or so and then start taking it again it works instantaneously and i feel normal for a day or so, but the fog inevitably returns. i'm not feeling depressed, just really, really stupid and i can't work, it's awful. BTW, I left my dog tied up outside of the grocery store, totally forgot about him for about 5 minutes out there, and he's my most prized possession. that's how bad it is. i reduced it today to 200 mg and i'm going to see if that helps. will keep you posted.
