Is it a problem that Trileptal causes my vision to get blurry? I have to wear stronger and stronger reading glasses when on Trileptal.
When the dose wears off, my vision gets better.
I've also noticed this on a higher dose of Geodon.

I've noticed that on a couple of anti-psychotics. I think mostly old generation ones... Our names are different, anyway...
It might be worth raising the issue with your doc. I don't know if it is a serious / potentially non-reversable side-affect or what... It wasn't something that I was prepared to put up with. But in my case it wasn't just blurry it was more... My eyes were wobbly or something. So I couldn't focus properly on the letters to read the words. It was bad enough to prevent my... Getting in the zone with reading. Which was not tolerable for me.
I wonder if there might be a sweet spot of less of a dose that helps you but doesn't give you this as a side-affect?
I don't know.

Geodon did that to my vision too. It went away some when I stopped it but now I have to wear glasses.

The Trileptal is the one med that really screws up my vision.
Anyone know why? If I keep my dosing low, like 300mg at a time I can tolerate a little vision issues, but higher than that my vision is terrible. I probably couldn't pass a freakin' driving test.
Why Trileptal?
