not sure you recall, but we spoke a few years ago about my cognitive impairments while on Lamictal and Nardil, posted under n_wolfie. As you know, i've restarted my Prozac and have been on for two weeks, and i don't think i'm depressed, but my horrible cognitive issues remain, (which are paralyzing) and from reviewing our former exchanges it seems that it's been your experience that high levels of lamictal (400mg) that are cause memory impairments, and mine are severe. This summer i left my dog tied up outside hte grocery store. he's my most prized possession, and i didn't remember until i got home. luckily he was still there. but it was scary. Right now I can't even tell if i have anhedonia/depression, i don't know if can't enjoy anything because i'm CONSTANTLY obsessing and anxiety ridden over my bad memory or if it's anhedonia. and how can i tell if my cognitive problems are depression or lamictal related? Today, since i'm feeling spacy but not particularly depressed, i reduced my lamictal from 400 to 200mg. do you think it will help?
