Memory Loss With Certain Medication?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Hi there ladies & gents. I have just joined this group and it seems really nice and welcoming
I was going to ask something, has anyone had any sort of memory trouble when taking the lamotrigine medication? I was on 100mg 3 times a day and my memory really did seem faint. I was getting really worried about this but the doctors didn't really do anything about it.

Dilantin
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I took Dilantin for a few years as a child. I'm not sure why my doctor switched me from Dilantin to Tegretol, but I'm assuming it's because I broke through on it. I really liked it, but I suppose what I'm on now is best for controlling my seizures.

Surges In Brain Causing Head Movement, Lamotrigine Side Effects
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Has anyone experienced brain surges or zap feelings in their brain causing your head to jerk? I am taking 200 mg ER Lamotrigine and am curious if it could be a side effect of the med. Also, if you are taking Lamotrigine, what side effects have you experience?. I have memory issues, my balance is off, trouble sleeping at night, and surges in my brain causing my head to jerk as a response to the "shock" feeling that goes through my head.
