Also, if you asked me what I did yesterday it'd take me a while to think of it. I'm not sure if this is normal for me or for most people, but it's certainly annoying.

I also read a second paper, and *right after* I read the paper I could barely articulate its content. I'm not sure if I was like this before (I probably wasn't) but it's making me look like an idiot at work.

My one and only minor complaint with Lamictal is that I get periods where I'm forgetful with peoples names.
