[QUOTE="zaftigmama, post: 497808, member: 13038"] Just to echo labesi, I take Lamictal as well and I've definitely noticed that it makes me dopey--it's gotten better since I take it at night. My word recall is terrible sometimes--I struggled and struggled to think of the word "habitat" and, like labesi and many BiPolar (BP) people, I was extremely bright before. This all changes--some days are worse than others--and I do take Adderall to help maintain mental alertness. As far as lithium causing dulling, I've never heard that, but everybody responds differently. Lithium, IME, causes weight gain--like I told my psychiatrist, I can either be fat(ter) and smart or skinnier and stupid. :not_fair: [/QUOTE]
