Loss of long and short term memory due to seizures and medications

HI, @richardthegreat - I wanted to welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect. I believe you are saying that due to a medication you are taking, you've had some failing memory, as well as the hand tremors.
What kind of medication are you taking? Are you noticing both short- and long-term memory challenges?

Lamictal a.k.a. lamotrigine, epival a.k.a. divalproex. I've been on them for about 18 years. They work great but one of the side effects of long term use is memory loss and tremors. I suffer from both. Side effects increased with time
