Am I the only person here whose memory has actually improved since starting Lamictal? Seriously, I thought I was developing early dementia---been forgetful since my late 30s, and it's been ridiculous since I passed 50. My pdoc laughed when I mentioned this and told me not to worry, it was simply part of the BP picture and would clear with time and medication adjustments.

So I've noticed a steady improvement over the past couple of months, and now not only can I concentrate long enough to get my projects done at work, I'm not forgetting things like the fact that I just took my pills two minutes ago, and I don't ALWAYS need sticky notes to remember all the little stuff I've got to do.

The only thing I can really complain about with the Lamictal is the daytime sleepiness.....man, if I'm alone in my office with the door closed and no air circulation, I'll fall asleep right in front of the computer! That, and having this big high after an increase that crashes me right back to reality within a week or so. Of course, that's because I love the highs and anything less feels like a low. Hmmm...maybe I ought to share that thought with my pdoc this week.
