The verbal issue started back in April/May and the typing issue started about 2 months ago.
I started working from home back in March due to Covid and I'm in my late 40s, so I've just been striking it up to working from home and getting older. But it seems pretty abnormal.
Worth mentioning, I am sensitive to medications so I thought it might be my Lamictal level being too high, but the blood work didn't show that to be the case.

If you're sensitive to meds, perhaps an 11 is too high for you. The ranges are based on averages, but we're all different. You have a list of symptoms that are concerning. I know you said you're planning to see a neurologist. Did he prescribe the med? Do you have a pdoc? If so, I would contact them as well.
I am also med sensitive. A tiny dose of meds for me is like a bulldozer running me over and I still get concerning side effects. Others can take five times as much and be fine.
