Hi, Rose.
I'm sorry that you feel stuck right now.
Just a few questions:
1. What is your current dosage of lamotrigine?
3. What was the maximum dosage you went up to and for how long?
2. Do you take the original Lamictal or generic lamotrigine?
3. Are you using the same pharmacy?
4. Has there been a change in the name of the generic manufacturer you were dispensed?
5. Was your memory impaired when lamotrigine was working well?
6. Is your memory worse now than it was before you relapsed?

Only maois have ever worked for me and Im hoping that marplan can work too, even though it is supposedly weaker than the other two.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
