Hi Scott,
I had that with dose increases over 100 mg. What I noticed the most was word-finding problems and word-substitution. It was noticeable to my husband and my mother. My old pdoc didn't think it was related to the Lamictal, but when I looked back at when I made changes and when this started (usually 2 weeks or so after an increase), it was pretty clear. I backed it down to 100 mg again, and they went away. I'm now back up to 150 mg, and I didn't get the problem this time. The itchy skin I was associating with the dose increases is also not back, though summer is over, so that might have been a coincidence.Strange, though. I almost think it's a good idea to keep daily records of what I took and what I experience, but I'm not yet that organized.
