In reply to lamictal retardation, posted by sar on December 27, 2001, at 2:35:15
> sorry to use the word "retardation" rather lightly, but both my boyfriend and i have noticed a marked impairment of my short-term memory and, in certain ways, my cognition. i have also gained weight since beginning lamictal.
I'm fairly sure Lamictal doesn't help what still exists of my ST memory but aside from that it definitely helps cognitively speaking; I can at least read a newspaper now. I experienced a slight improvement at as low a dose as 25mg and like dreamer even experienced some mild hypomania (when Klonopin was added - doesn't seem to work w/o this).
I've lost weight since starting Lamictal - no appetite - and have trouble sleeping on it (tho' running out of M doesn't help); it's 7:45am here and I'm yet to nod off.
