We had a thread about this just a week or so ago.

I asked my pdoc about the lamotrigine, and she strongly didn't think so, but i still wonder. Her point was that another episode would damage cognition even more, so not to take the risk. I need to give it more thought, but I really might push for the testing. If I'm willing to pay, and my pdoc thinks it could be useful I really don't think GP should say no. Idk
