"i&#039;ve been taking lamictal now for about 4 years, i haven&#039;t had any side effects that i can tell but after reading others experience of memory loss, that could be one that i do have.  i take the maximum dose that is prescribed now and i can&#039;t say enough about this medication. i was so totally lost, severe depression, suicidal, lowest of lows, it was so bad, i couldn&#039;t get my ducks in a row (my mothers comments to me, daily). now, i&#039;m feeling in control of my life, i&#039;m back with my spouse and caring for my mother, who&#039;s ducks have scattered about, and i&#039;m living happily.
