I have been taking lamictal for 3 years now and i have just now started getting (or noticing) some of the side effects. Bad cramping with my period and break through bleeding. I feel more clumsy and i have noticed that my vision has gotten more blurry. This could be just me getting older, but i've noticed that it's about an hour and a half after i take my morning dose.

Hi. I've been on lamictal for over 2 yrs (400mg/day) and yes, the blurry vision I swear is a side effect. Mine can be clear as can be and 30 minutes later really blurry and it may last for 15 minutes or for hours or all day. At some point it gets clear again then blurs. Different degrees of blur too. Prescription glasses out of the equation as vision is so off. Hopefully the med is doing well for you otherwise. Have no probs at all with periods. Have noticed many "weird" things taking this med but I consider minor and stay with med as it woeks great for me.
