How to help focus while on Lamictal
Mon, 01/25/2016 - 16:55Hello,
I have been on Lamictal for almost 10 years and have had only one seizure during this time...it works for me. I'm 55 years old and take 300 mg twice a day. However, I have had a lot of stress in my life these days and it seems to have exasperated my memory/confusion side effects. I recently started a new job that is incredibly detail oriented and I am failing miserably. Are there any examples of people taking another drug to combat the memory/confusion effects? I have to address this or lose my job (quit or get fired). Currently have a call into my neurologist but have not talked to him yet.
Thanks, I appreciate your feedback.
