Amnesia associated with Lamictal (Lamotrigine)?

Posted by PB and J.C. (my dog) on June 14, 2000, at 19:05:56

Has any one out there experienced amnesia while on
Lamictal for mood stabilization? As my pdoc has
increased my dosage over the past six weeks or so, I've
started having some significant memory lapses. I
finally read the GlaxoWellcome's package insert for
Lamictal, and they list amnesia as a "frequent" side
effect.
By the way, because my amnesia/memory lapses are occurring with greater frequency, my pdoc is tapering
me off the Lamictal - but she said I can't go too fast
for risk of a seizure if I abruptly stop the med.
Also, any success stories with different mood stabilizers other than lithium, which I currently take.
Thanks,
PB & J.C.
