Hello,
First of all the dosage for both medications are normal. Lamictal can rarely cause memory loss though i would not suggest stopping the treatment as it might increase the seizures. Suggest seeing your specialist to discuss maybe changing lamictal to another anti-seizure treatment if the memory loss is affecting you so much,
Kind Regards
