I can't remember if I have asked this question before as my memory is dreadful πŸ˜‚. I was just wondering if it is common to get brain fog and memory issues with lacosamide. I always say to people im talking to that im not as stupid as I sound as its embarrassing not being able to think of simple words. I had to ask my friend for the opposite word of stupid the other day. Its like I know what I want to say but I can't get the words together to form the sentence.

I do the same thing lol. Or the other issue when you know what you want to say but you just can't find the word.

Good post and? I can relate to you my way, I think it's dif per person but I don't have a good memory like when I was younger than today, but I do take into consideration what the cause of it is and I have a memory of about a 1 on the 3 scale of being the best, but I am not complaining about it either, I have had plenty of conversations with people who asked me different things and ask me if I remember what they are talking about, and just tell them no I don't, nothing against anyone but I don't remember, and sometimes after that it may come to me out of the blue about what they were asking me about, it's not like that all the time but happens and I am ok that, I don't have a photographic mem, but I am ok with that and accepted my condition and situation at hand, my opinion here, I hang in there and try to stay pos and so can you, and I am especially thankful for my daily routine of prayer and Bible study I do and is my best medicine for me and my condition and situation at hand my opinion, amen
