A member asked:
I've had memory problems with valium and neurontin, which affect gaba, and lamictal and vimpat, (lacosamide) which don't, but not with depakote, which does. why?

You're an individual: Any medication which treats seizures can potentially affect memory. But when it comes down to it, everyone is an individual, so you might get a side-effect noone else gets or you might avoid a side-effect that everyone else does get.
