Lamictal, memory loss and getting memory back

Sun, 12/14/2014 - 23:42

Topic: Medication Issues

Hi,

I have been on Lamictal 300mg for about 4 years. My loss of memory and inability to pull out words has gotten to the point where I'm not enjoying life. Holding a conversation that lasts a few sentences has become embarassing. I was wondering if anyone who has been on lamictal and taken off has had their memory return. I will talk to my doctor but the last time I went in they tried to convince me that the meds had nothing to do with memory loss.

Thanks,

Donna

I highly recommend the CBD. It helps with so much. Its amazing how well and quickly it works there are no side effects. It helps with anxiety , depression, PTSD and more. It acts as a natural seratonin uptake inhibitor and is safe there is no lethal or overdose just a few drops under the tongue is amazing . It will help with the withdrawal of Lamictal also.

i suffered horrible state of confusion and being a sales closer made my job hell on top of being harassed at work because of my disability. i was visibly completely the walking dead with slouch and hung head from the 50 # invisible wet blanket over you on lamictal. every motion movement task or action was agony. Life was miserable I couldn't find a whiff of happiness or joy only for fleeting moments in mediation. everybody everything real and imaginable grated on me. To add to this I was being harassed at work by someone who fed off my weakened state to add to the unbearable invisible weight w hich just aggravated everything. I am reaching to people been bullied into taking drugs you KNOW arent right. I am not advocating not taking meds for serious PROPERLY diagnosed condtions. When its not right you know it, when its helping you know it. Stick to your gut feeling and inner person and know that there is hope and most of all dont give up. If you need meds take them if you know its wrong and you feel you are being manipulated stand tall.DO NOT EVER LET YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS EVER ATTEND A PSYCHIATRIC SESSION. THEIR PRESENCE WILL CONTRIBUTE TROUBLE /INTERFERENCE.
