> Yes, it certainly could be. Although it's hard to know for certain when two med changes are made at the same time. Actually, going from 100 to 150 mg isn't a slight increase!As Emme_v2 suggested, going from 100 mg to 150 mg is substantial - 50% increase. It is possible that your memory deficits will pass.
The first time I tried Lamictal, problems with memory emerged at a dosage of 150 mg, but then disappeared. At 200 mg, the same thing happened. However, at 300 mg, memory impairments remained for the entire time I stayed at that dosage (several years). At 450 mg, I couldn't remember my own name. I now find that I have little, if any, impairment while staying at a dosage of 200 mg.
