Something strange is going on
Sun, 01/23/2005 - 11:41I don't know if this is E related or not?? I have been seeing color "auras" for the last few days..most noticeable at night and only out of my right eye? I have also been seeing spots...again, it seems only in my right eye. I am having some difficulty focusing my eyes as well...they either jump all over the place or everything close-up gets real blurry. I'm near-sighted and have never had this problem before other then the typical distance blurring associated with near-sightedness. I was trying to take some photographs the other night and the blurriness and eyestrain/jumpiness was so bad that I thought I was going to throw-up. I don't know if this is another side-effect from the trileptal I am having, just E realted in general or if I need to go to the dr. I do know that I had a szr last weekend and these things have occured since then. I have had problems with my eyes going out of focus in the past...usually the only warning that I'm going to have a szr in a few second...but not consistently. I'm not sure I need to call my neuro and ask about this or if I should see an eye doctor.
ANy info/advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
Oh...I have had generalized TC for almost 6yrs , current med is 1500mg Triletpal.
Thanks,
