I quite often can not find the right word ... simple words too ... they just will not come ... short term memory is shot ... but keep bringing back childhood memories though ( most likely age 60 +) ... been on lamictal doses from 400 to 200 over the last 5 years ... up when the clouds come lower when feeling better ... I expect to be on it a long time ... works best with least side effects for me ... I am in a very technical field and can slide by most times ... but there are days ...
