Hi Cam,
Here I go again with the "questions" again
If a person was mis diagnosed as Bipolar-II(mild) during a major marital upset triggering the behaviour which was mistaken for Bipolar behaviour, then turns out that person really wasn't after all just really upset at that time, and have been on anti-convulsant/seizure meds, what if any, type of effects and long term damage possiblities be?
Like if a person was given a med that never needed it such as the type I mentioned, and also did not have epilepsy, how would this effect them or would it not in anyway.

Another bothersome question, does Klonopin, Ativan and the other "benzos" cause memory loss? I mentioned that to my pdoc and he said it has been known to cloud memory, but then naturally after I am out to the parking lot, I realized the questions I should have asked like, is this memory loss permanent? I mean it has been great in things I'd like to forget, but since I have been on Lamictal and the other 2 I am finding that I even have to think how to spell very simple words before I write, or arrive someplace with no recollection of how I got there, not really that but I'll feel that there was some time warp type of occurance. If this is medication related what is the possible culprit?
And the last is what I asked above, if a person does not require anti-seizure type meds how would they feel while on them?
I know you are busy and I think these Lamictal questions may have been asked in the past, I "forgot" so forgive me if I have posted them in the past.
Boy, am I glad you are back, tee! hee! we are certainly blessed having Cam back to help answer drug questions

Thanks ahead of time
