I'm a bit freaked out I've done permanent damage to my memory. I've been off Trileptal for a couple of days now, and I'm still having a hard time remembering things as quickly and clearly as I was able to even two weeks ago.
For example, someone today needed an old address of mine, somewhere I lived for over a year, and I totally blanked on it for several seconds, and really only remembered it a few minutes later. WHAT THE F***!?!
I have quit ALL anticonvulsants and mood stablizers for now, until they give me one that doesn't ruin my head. Now I've lost the strength of my memory, and if it doens't come back, I don't think there's a pill they could give me to make me not depressed.
Is this effect going to be permanent? When will I feel my ability to concentrate and remember return. UGH!
