Memory Loss With Certain Medication?
Hi there ladies & gents. I have just joined this group and it seems really nice and welcoming
I was going to ask something, has anyone had any sort of memory trouble when taking the lamotrigine medication? I was on 100mg 3 times a day and my memory really did seem faint. I was getting really worried about this but the doctors didn't really do anything about it. I have had the lamotrigine decreased as I am taking a higher dose of keppra now but really would like someone to write back if they… read more
Your welcome . Happy to hear that it help. I wasn’t even sure if I was clear at explaining.
Dilantin
I took Dilantin for a few years as a child. I'm not sure why my doctor switched me from Dilantin to Tegretol, but I'm assuming it's because I broke through on it. I really liked it, but I suppose what I'm on now is best for controlling my seizures.
Generic Vs. Brand. What Are Your Experiences? In My Case With Lamotrigine
The first week after my hospital stay I felt great with higher dosage and added benzo. I’ve been on Lamictin for 10 years and doing great on it. Btw this is the same as Lamictal, both manufactured by GSK, even packaging is similar, but called Lamictin in South Africa
Then 2 weeks ago the pharmacy said they have trouble with the suppliers of Lamictin and big shortages but that the generic Epitec (manufactured by Cipla) is as good as the original (my neurologist also okayed the change). Suddenly… read more
Does Anyone Experience Concentration Issues, Mood Swings, And Tremor?
I think it's a side effect. I'm on lamictal and depakote.
It’s definitely a side effect of being on Depokote and lamictol I am on those too and Zonegran
Klonopin
I have been taking Klonopin two times one during the day and one at night for the last month. I take Lamotrigine 300 in the morning and 60mg of cymbalta for years for depression. I have a birthmark surrounding my left eyelid and left front forhead. Lately my left eyelid swells up everyday. I have Sturge Weber Syndrome also which causes seisures also.Thank you

How High Is Your Dose Of Lamotrigine?
Mine is 300mg bid
Only 2 grand mals since 2015 and monthly absence seizures
That doesn't matter what another person dosage is. I say that because the number of milligrams you take, of a medication, goes by your medical history, weight, age, and height to tell how many… read more
Lamical
I'm on trileptal & lamical. Was wondering if anyone has problems with memory? I'm thinking of asking my neurologist if can start decrease my trileptal (bad memory problems) & increase my lamical. Anyone solely on lamical & had good results.
I also have problems remembering. My sister says I'm getting older. Is it from the medication?
Birth Control
I was wondering if anyone on here take Lamictal (Lamotrigine), and has found an effective method of birth control, other than an IUD. I used to take pills, but now they are saying they decrease the effectiveness of the Lamictal, and they keep pushing for an IUD, and I will not get that. Lol
I did the depo shot it was called.

Added Lamictal/ Lamotigine 200 mg 2x day as a add on to Keppra 1500 mg 2x day for Grand Mals. I’m proud to say I’m 1 year Seizure Free May 2018 on this.

However since adding Lamotrigine June 2017 I have more side effects other than the quick fatigue have on Keppra. Since my seizures are controlled I haven’t pushed it too much to go off not to mention seems all meds have negatives. But my goal… read more
