Who feels like their normal smart selves?

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.
