> > I am all but sure the problem lies in your taking Nardil along with such a high dosage of Lamictal. Lamictal by itself can impair memory. Adding Nardil to Lamictal 300mg leaves me a moron. I found that I was OK at 200mg. The only thing is, you need to be prepared to have you depression worsen for a few days if you reduce the dosage too quickly.

> LOL at the moron comment :) My dr is switching me to Parnate because Naril at 75 mg isn't working. I've been on it for 4 months. I wonder if Parnate has the same issues...

The combination of a gabaergic like nardil and lamotrigine (which noone is quite sure how it works, but does seem to reduce glutamate relase) is going to make memory formation that much harder, its doubling up on things.
