You see, I am on Tegretol, and for a while it gave me blurry vision in only my right eye, but that went away. It might be the same way with your "feeling stupid", so just give it some time.

well, APs can cause brain atrophy. not to scare OP. but if that's the case... !feeling! stupid might go away, actual stupid may be there... but their brain is gonna be so mushed they will not notice anymore.
also... withdrawal can be longer and more brutal than doctors admit. How long you been withdrawing? You may want to check Icarus community, people there have some experience with going off stuff and they even made a guide on Coming off. It may not be your !illness!, it can as well be the withdrawal...
I don't have much advice, except hold on and body surf the wave the best you can. Chances are... it's gonna get better. Episodes pass, even on their own. Be gentle to yourself, don't do anything damaging and be as well as you can.
