All mood stabilizers make me a little stupid to some degree or other.. but I know it is worth it for the long haul. I tried up to 300mg of Trileptal a day. Even 75mg daytime doses produced some significant DUH episodes, but I also got some serious blurry vision from it too.. and most importantly it didn't fade with time at the same dose. You might just wait a couple of weeks to see if you notice it getting better or worse. It also might be tinkering with the elimination of one of your other meds (although it's not supposed to have significant drug-drug interactions).
