I am trying to find out if anyone has experienced 5 minute delayed reaction from Lamictal. My 18 year old son has been on Lamictal for over 3 years. He started out at 200 mg, had a breakthrough seizure after 1 1/2 years and is now on 600 mg. Since they increased him, he has episodes about every two weeks where he feels really dizzy and then forgets what just happened five minutes before. His short term memory is getting progressively worse. You wouldn't know anything is wrong if you were talking to him, but since he has had four grand mal seizures, he knows something is up. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have experienced serious delays - more than just 5 minutes - and I'm on 300 mg. I even lost my child at an amusement park (my husband found her) and the severity of the issue didn't hit me until the next day. Then, when I was recalling the incident to my therapist, I couldn't remember what had happened but, I knew it was serious. My husband had to remind me... My therapist thinks my dose it too high and that I'm a bit drugged. Scary stuff. But, on the other hand, it's working well to stabilize the moods. Hard decision...
