Blurred vision, HELP!?

22 Nov 2010

Ok The 2 you stopped did have vision blur problems especialy Trileptal.It also had abnormal vision & double vision.I don't know if you talk to your pharmacist or doctor.You were taking a 300 dose & you should of weened off of that.It should of took you more than a week,when your taking a antipychcotic,you just can't stop taking them like that.I'm only a technician but it might be acouple more days or so because you did it that way.Now i would call you regular doctor & tell him those meds are not working.Here are 2 anitipychcotic that worked for me:Seroquel,Tegretol XL,Topomax,here are some depressants:Cymbalta,Wellbutron X L,,Trazadone,Prozac is old but it worked too.Now i'v been trying to get rid of the drug weight so i've been reseaching & I think the tegretol XL & topamax plus Trazadone are working for me.You have to find the right mix for you.I do where glasses like you.

i was on trileptal and tegretol (mostly the same) can only take it at night... very heavy duty med, at least for me... yes to blurred vision... but the next day , upon waking is better. I take it for bipolar mood stabilizer... has many uses. it did make me somewhat out of it... like a little drunk almost... strong med for me... has gotten better with daily use and side effects subsided after about 3 weeks.
Also, caused extremely dry burning eyes... prob because it dehydrates us. if u have any other questions from a patients point of view, feel free to ask.
