I am not sure how much the memory loss is due to the medicine and how much is due to bipolar. However, I am wondering if any of you feel minimum cognition loss, if any, and if so what are you taking?

My psychiatrist specifically targets my Lamictal as the cause of what he calls "word loss". This was especially frustrating when I was in school (and when trying to win arguments with my husband
. I've been off the Lamictal for a good eight months and sure enough words are coming to me at a more normal speed. Luckily though, I'm taking other meds that make up for not taking the lamictal.
