I caught a throat infection with a headache and temperature a few weeks ago, so I took a paracetamol to get the temperature down. A few days later, my memory (long and short term) had gone completely. The same happened to me about a year ago for the first time and I was wondering whether the paracetamol had reacted with the Lamictal I take for epilepsy. I will make more informed inquiries (with the doctor etc.) but would be interested to hear if others have had similar experiences. Many thanks.

paracetamol aka tylenol can interact with lamictal by the way that they are both metabolised in the liver. One dose will most likely have no interaction, also the toxicity of paracetamol does not include memory problems and toxicity of lamictal is not likely with one dose of paracetamol, good luck, i am hearing this name after 3-4 years
