> Higer dosages of Lamictal can produce the adverse effects on cognition that you are experiencing. Normally, 200 mg/day of Lamictal does not produce profound cognitive side effects - although it can. Perhaps there is an interaction between risperidone and Lamictal*. I haven't looked into it. I would reduce the risperidone until you speak to your doctor if your present condition is intolerable. Otherwise, I would keep everything the same and let your doctor help you to make a decision.

How are you finding the risperdal otherwise?
