My lamictal discontinuation was followed by very dense brain fog and spaceyness like I've never experienced. This week has been better, but it's been weeks and I hope the cognitive density continues to alleviate. I decremented from (250 I believe) over 2 weeks followed by bupropion for 2 weeks. My shrink left a voice mail indicating she "will not be practicing medicine indefinitely" so I had to shuffle some things myself for a short time. I'm not sure 2 weeks was enough time.
I didn't notice any cognitive issues while I was taking it. I was given this med with bupropion by my shrink before I moved. I don't have bipolar (my wife takes Lamictal and a good section of the average pharmacy for BP2, and other assailments) but I was given it for situational depression/dysthymia/whatever. I seem most loyal toADD and anxiety.
If all of the AD's I tried tasted good, I'd at least have enjoyed them, because after 16 years of SSRI's, SNRI's and various sundry anti-depressants, I never had appreciable improvement with my maladies. Now I'm simply taking Adderall. I have diagnosed myself with Enigmatic Disorder 4.7 and am focusing more on my career to right the ship.
