My daughter had vision problems when she took Tegretol. The neurologist at that time told me it was a type of a seizure, however, once we stopped that med, after a few weeks she never had vision problems again.
I use to have vision issues when I had migraines. Now since I have been taking magnesium for a few years, I have not had a migraine or vision problems.
What are your experiences or symptoms?

hi, i have visual halluciinations, i could be looking at the ceiling and all of a sudden there will be patterns moving about, walls sometimes breathe with me, its kinda like being on acid, they usually precede a kind of drop attack thing i get but then i hallucinate for up to an hour lafter
I see colored dots on the walls during my visuals. Also I see flickering light even though I may be in a pitch dark room

Hello, thank you for your replies. I like talking to people who have experienced / have visual simple partial seizures because I feel I am not alone. Plus I find it interesting to see what other people experience. The main visual simple partial seizure I have now is the feeling I am a giant. Everything around me looks tiny & far away, and I feel really big. I must admit my simple partials can last a while. Plus I can feel confused / disoriented during the night waking up to distorted objects. :? I don't get them very often anymore.
Hi again Deb, ahh.... yes the giant feeling. I do not usually see this - but I experience it as a feeling, myself being very big. Hands, tongue, body.... Funny I had never connected this with epilepsy. I remember feeling this since I was 7-8 yrs old. Ty, Hugs Malla
