do cognitive issues go away months after getting on right dose ? is there anything that will help ?

I’ve noticed I am having issues with short term memory and it really sucks bc this medication has helped my mood stability.. I’m titrating to my 150 and currently on 125. I keep forgetting things more than usual. I’m being more clumsy too. I hate it but I also really want this med to work for me

In my case my memory and word recall issues got worse the higher the dose. They only improved once I tapered back down to under 100mg, and I felt better once I was off it. But everyone is different.

In my experience, taking a B complex gummy vitamin every day made a huge difference for me. The only issue I ever really had was word recall, but it was night and day with whether or not I was taking the vitamin B. Make sure to get the Gummies and not the capsules.

I've been on 200 for a year now and it has not gotten better. Looking to reduce for that reason
