I think you need to speak with your prescribing physician. Lamictal and ADD meds can both cause memory issues; so can depression or ADD and many illness for which you would take Lamictal. You don't say why you are on Lamictal; this drug is prescribed for mood disorders, seizures, and chronic pain, so I'm not sure which of those you have going.
Because you have illnesses that affect memory and you take meds that affect memory, you are probably not going to be able to sort this out without professional help. These drugs are also the type that shouldn't be stopped suddenly without medical supervision, so I think the thing to do is make an appointment with the doctor who prescribed them to sort it all out.
Good luck, and if we can help you further, please let us know.
