> amdI know this has been a long time ago but you asked if it was possible that Lamictal could cause slow brain. Everything you have listed is what I am experiencing and I know it was the Lamictal. I am trying to find out how to reverse the slow brain if possible . Since Lamictal slows the glutamine in the brain maybe something like ketamine which increases the glutamine would help. If you are still on here could you tell me how you are now. I've been off Lamictal for 2 yrs and still the same.
