It's a lesser evil. Forget EVERYTHING due to manic blackout, or be a lil dumb

Lamictal causes memory loss???

coolhand.bsky.social•6 days ago

For me it absolutely caisss short term memory loss. I’ve seen others here say the same - anecdotally

gawdz0rz.bsky.social•6 days ago

so i honestly thought my memory issues were because i hit my head as a kid (and they might still be???) but uhhh this is very good to know

chronictami.bsky.social•6 days ago

I feel betrayed. Not my Lamictal!!! I do get short-term memory loss.

I didn't know that ! Do you know if it's dosage dependant ?

chronictami.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't know. I'm on a pretty high dose, but I've been on it for 11 years. The dose has increased over the years as the bipolar illness got worse.

Ok thanks. I will ask my doc for more info :)

demeterjaw.bsky.social•5 days ago

demeterjaw.bsky.social•5 days ago

literally have had so many moments in the last year since starting it where i’m having a conversation and have to ask the person i’m talking to what i said. it’s embarrassing at times, also really funny bc i will say outta pocket shit and completely forget it

If I take trileptal, I get brain fog so bad I can't do single digit addition correctly.

domg.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeah that's why I said lesser evil. Slight brain fog that you get used to, or go completely off the face of the earth

I was stoned the vast majority of the time for six years once.
