Dear lybrate-user, nice to know that lamictal helped you. Your memory needs to be assessed and then only any medicine can be added. Please talk to your doctor about it.

Cognitive changes, i. E. Memory can be due to depression or the medications. You have to consult your psychiatrist and he might assess for the same. Based on the finding the medications can be altered or added. Good luck.
