I was in for a check-up with my neuro today. I'm doing well with my new VNS battery, but she said I may need to see an opthomalogist. I'm taking Potiga and the FDA has issued a safety warning about blue skin along with eye abnormalities; pigment changes in the retina. I've only been on it since December of 2012, the warning is more for folks who've been on it for several years. Anyone else taking this drug, please ask your dr. about the side effect(s) they just discovered.

Read about it here:
