when you say 10 pills/day, i assume this is your total medication, and not 10x150 mg Trileptal. 150 mg Trileptal/day is a low dose. i take 1,200 mg/day, but we all respond differently. i have definitely noticed a vision problem with Trileptal. if i don't take it, i can read with 1.5 diopter glasses, and don't need anything for distance vision. if i take it, within a few days, i need 3 diopters to read, and 1.5 diopters for distance vision. it's not exactly double vision, but it is blurry vision without glasses, which may be what you mean. i have discussed this with my doctor, and he was very surprised.
I had my first seizure at age 13 - I was put on Tegretol and took that for 10 years! When I got married my husband and I decided we will want children and I decided that was a perfect time to switch to a more "baby friendly" medicine! My doctor switched me to Trileptal 450 mg x2! My family says it was a night and day switch for me - I am "happier" now and funnier and my mom claims I am the same old person she used to know - before the Tegretol "fog"!!!! I have had great success with the Trileptal - but just within the past few days I have been having seizure activity (I am extremely lucky to have a warning sign - my right leg goes numb) and this has happened several times in the past two days!!!! I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else - I almost feel like I got a bad batch of meds - but I don't know if things like this go bad!!!! Looking for any advice!
