So my memory has always been bad even when I was a kid. I started lamictal about two months ago and I can't tell if my memory has gotten worse or if it's as bad as it always has been and maybe I'm noticing more. I forget things people say to me just hours before, and it's not like when they remind me it jogs my memory -- I truly have no recollection.

has lamictal affected anyone else's memory? is that a common side effect?
