In reply to lamictal idiocy, posted by sar on December 29, 2001, at 21:31:46
Hi Sar,
When did you start the Lamictal, and what dose are you up to?Just wondering ... when I started the Lamictal, and each time I titrated the dose up, I would experience a lot of agitation and anxiety which caused me the same symptoms you mentioned ... forgetting everything, feeling really scattered. But I felt that way even off the Lamictal when i had agitation and anxiety issues.
Now that I am up to 125 mg, I don't have those symptoms. Klonapin and Serzone helped calm me down when I was experiencing that agitation.
good luck -- hope it gets better!
