Actually, I
just had an eye test today. I've been on 150 mg Lamictal (75 twice a day), along with a cocktail of other meds (Tegretol, Klonopin and Topamax) for quite a while. (over 10 years). It hasn't affected my eyesight anymore than what would be considered normal, I think.
Oddly enough, one eye went up, the other eye went down (just a smidge in both distance and the astigmatism)...but peripheral vision was perfect in both eyes, which I've not had before. It still changes my prescription, though, which is a bummer.
Rachellabella.........12 weeks is too fast for that high of a dose. 25 mg every 2 weeks is the recommended uptake/downgrade.
I had a digital retinopathy photograph done of each eye as well, because of the seizure meds, and there is some glaucoma/cataracts in my family. The first one I had done 2 years ago was great, and this one showed no change, either.
I will admit to getting double/blurry vision on occasion...usually when I have done too much computer work/reading. And I do have the eye twitching as well, though no one else seems to see it.....I just feel it. That comes and goes. Annoying as bejeezers, that is.
My partner is on Lamictal as well, and has been for 7 or 8 years. They are at 500 mg a day, the maximum dose....down from a higher dose of 600, and functioning quite well. Their vision is perfect, no glasses.
