Word Repeat

Hi, I'm on 200mg Lamictal per day.  I am finding more memory loss, also a form of stuttering I think.
What I do often is I repeat a word over  and over  something like at work, and Im the boss lol, I might say
" I think we should go go go go and get this item ordered now."

I've been on 300mg of Lamictal for over two years now. I found it to be a Godsend! The only lasting side effect I have found has been a slight blur in sight. Not enough that it changed my eye glass, nor my contact lens, prescription strength. I mainly notice it when I am at the computer for long periods of time and watching TV for a long period of time. After a while Abilify was added to the mix, (I have severe depression), but I am no longer on that anymore and doing fine.

Sometimes, I have a little "skip" in my speech. I used to give demonstrations and speeches all the time. I started having these little "skips", etc. before the Lamictal was added to my meds., so I don't think it is the Lamictal.

Hopefully, it will just be a short term thing for you.
