Words to music symptoms and conditions

I've been on Lamictal for about 4 years (generic now), I did great on 200mg of the name brand but had to go to 300mg on the generic - but with the cost difference I was thrilled. I never had any issues with the generic vs the name brand, as I have read others have dealt with.

I am posting because I just talked to my Dr. today about the memory issue. For me it is the complete inability to memorize passages, verses, words to music, etc. In fact last summer I was working with a group of students, we committed to memorize a section of about 10 bible verses and I could not do it - I tried EVERYTHING, it was horrible and embarrassing! My Dr. said that it is a side effect that some people experience and when people go off the med, things get back to normal. Back to normal for me is being completely crazy, so abnormal is just fine! I have also noticed a difficulty recalling specific words when I am teaching, I have to search my brain for the word, which is annoying - it reminds me of President Bush.

That's it, YEAAAA for Lamictal - I'm also on 300mg Wellbutrin, this is the perfect combination for me! And easy to remember 300 mg of both = )
