OK, so it is possible that a lower dosage Lamictal improved my memory, and that the higher dosage is interacting with the nardil in a way that it didn't on the lower dose of lamictal? Like the Nardil is potentiating the effect of the Lamictal? I was really helping my memory before at 500, until it stopped working, but when I added the nardil things got bad fast, even though my mood is much better. actually, my mood is fine outside of the anxiety over this memory issue. I don't want to stop taking the lamictal altogehter, it's really stabilized my mood, where the nardil made me feel happier, but seemed to aggravate my bipolar two. also made me extremely hyper. and the amouunt of trazadone i needed to sleep through teh night left me with horrid hangovers. My mood was also very reactive, and I was extremely sensitive to bed events/rejection, and I would sink lower than I ever did when i was taking the lamictal with it. so i can't go back to just the nardil. anyhow, sorry to be so neurotic. have you been through this nardil lamictal nightmare? i just lowered my lamictal dosage, how long do you think it will take to see an effect? I've always needed more lamictal than "normal".
