I'm trying to find one that isn't prone to too many cognitive side effects. I know Lamictal isn't too bad, but what is there besides Lamictal? It seems most of the others have cognitive side effects. Thanks!
Why are you looking to use a mood-stabilizer? Are you bipolar?
I found Trileptal to be pretty clean. It really does have some antidepressant properties.
Lamictal can cause memory problems, especially at dosages of 300mg and higher.
Keppra isn't too bad as far as cognition is concerned. However, it can exacerbate depression. I found that it had antidepressant properties at 1000mg, but worsened my depression at 2000mg.
