In reply to My attempt to discontinue Lamictal = relapse., posted by SLS on March 26, 2013, at 6:58:47
I'm titrating Lamictal all over again. I am remaining flexible in order to establish the lowest effective dosage, even if that means increasing the dosage above 200 mg/day. Let's see where I end up. So far, my memory and cognition remain intact. Ataxia has not emerged.
The combination of depression and drug effects can be confusing and sometimes fool me. It is quite possible that my complaints regarding memory and cognitive impairments were actually the depression and not the Lamictal. One thing interesting about Lamictal is that one can experience a brief improvement in depression upon dosage reduction. I think that this is exactly what happened to me when I reported feeling better as I rapidly tapered the dose. If so, then I might be better off taking 300 mg/day than 200 mg/day.
Today, I am more hopeful.
I would like to thank everyone for your support and valuable suggestions.
