I also am having a difficult time with memory loss. I have a ver...

Me too!! I am worried about my memory, feeling dizzy, I have tingling and numbness in my lips. I am ready to get off of it all!!! I am on Lexapro, Lamictal & Clonazapam

I have been taking Lamictal exclusively since 1996 and I am 45 years old. I take 625 milligrams a day. It has eliminated my Grand Mals, confusion and almost all of my auras. It has made me a normal person - no depression, anxiety, paranoia, physical problems, etc. The one thing I have noticed is that there is long term memory loss. I had a horrible childhood, so many of the things I don't remember I wouldn't want to remember. I don't have any short term memory loss. There are chunks of time gone and many times my siblings will say, "Do you remember when. . ." and I don't remember. Most times if they describe the incident in detail, it will come back to me.

So, take it from someone who has been on a high dosage for 12 years, yes - there is long term memory loss. But, I believe it is retrieval with detailed prompting. I love Lamictal and it has been a wonder drug for me.
