Hi all, Well, I increased up to 75mg of Lamictal, I am slowly wanting to hit 100mg at least. But lately, since I started back on the med (since going off it in March 2002), my night vision has been very, very blurry. I have read that Seroquel can do this, but does anyone think it is now the combo of the Seroquel AND the Lamictal I am taking??? Or do you think it is from the Lamictal??? I know it's from one of these meds, because that is the only thing that I have changed concerning my meds, and I didn't have it this bad.
I would be very grateful for any experience, advice, or replies concerning thius matter.
Thanks, Kristen I'm really worried:-(

> Thanks, Kristen I'm really worried:-(Hi,
I've had blurry vision and the inability to focus properly on close objects as a result of medication. At the time I was on 400mg lamictal, but also on Klonopin and that reversible MAORi(can't remember its name). I have no idea as to which of the 3 were effecting my vision, so this is probably not much help. However I remember that in the later days of taking this combo, I was much less distressed by this side effect.
Give it more time, try not to worry at this early stage (easier said than done I know). Remember many meds can cause blurry vision for a bit.
Take care
