I am currently taking 450mg of lamictal a day, and recently I have come to the realization that my cognitive processes seem to be slowing significantly. I have always been a very intelligent, articulate person, but now it is a challenge for me to even speak coherently because I am always fogeting what word to use. It is MOST obvious when I am typing or writing. I mispell even the simplest words (and I have always been able to spell superbly) and have become useless when it comes to trying to type words fluently without constantly hitting the delete button and correcting and recorrecting mistakes. Is this all in my head? Am i actually losing my intelligence. This attribute has been one of my few worth keeping, so this is scary.

Has anyone else had this experience on lamictal?

Also, have any of you that have taken it felt like you were turning into a robot? In the sense that you have almost no emotions even when there is a legitimate reason to feel a certain way. Emotionally constipated as I like to think of it as.
