I'm down to 50mg of Lamictal after starting this drug last November. I was as high as 300mg, and stayed at 200mgs for a while. I started having memory issues and was advise to go down to 150mg. I saw another pdoc a couple of weeks ago and she is letting me come down off of this med because I feel it has done nothing for me except make me forgetful and with a decline in my cognitive functioning in general. And I think it made PMS horrible for me. Now that my withdrawal from this drug is nearing it's end, I feel...flat. Not really wanting to be too social like I used to at work. I'm not happy, I'm not sad. I feel like I'm somewhat to my baseline from years and years ago. But at least my mind is a little sharper now so that I can work more productively at my job. Anyone else have any similar effect after coming off of this drug, or any drug?
Thanks for this!

I decreased from 400 Mgs to 100 Mgs and I remember feeling pretty flat while adjusting.
I take so many meds now I couldn't tell you which ones numb my emotions.
