In reply to Lamictal - Did I ruin my brain?, posted by bobman on May 18, 2010, at 4:33:27
> Hey guys,

> I was wondering if anyone fully recovered from 1+ years of lamictal use, and how long it took. I am very scared. I took it for about 1 year 9 months, with an average dose of about 100mg, although it briefly went up to 275mg for about 2 months. For the last 6 months or so I took ~ 50-75mg. I took it alongside wellbutrin (and the later substituted cymbalta for butrin) and gabapentin.

I have memory problems that I never had before taking it. If you doubt this, I attended one of the top prep schools in the country, and scored in the top 10 on an entrance exam (it's as much as I can say). I'm just saying I never had these problems before.

Did you have these problems while you were taking Lamictal?
