A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

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 only take Lamictol and hadn't had a seizure until last week. I had taken Dilantin since I was 14, I am 66 now and the Dilantin shrunk my cerebellum and now have a balance problem which will never improve.

I had a Left Temporal Lobectomy in 2002.

I have been taking 1800mg of Trileptal since 2000 or 2001, whenever it was a trial drug. The memory issue only became really bad after a seizure/s in 2014.

I just started Lamictal in December. Now at 250mg a day working to 300. The Lamictal hasn’t seemed to make it any worse.

Not sure what your dosage is for each drug but maybe that is something to discuss depending on how well it is controlling your seizures...the whole quality of life thing.

Hope it gets resolved soon for you.

I also have problems remembering. My sister says I'm getting older. Is it from the medication?
