What is Causing Blurred Vision?
Caroline said this morning that she is having double vision or blurred vision. We are wondering if too much Lamictal is to blame. She is on a fairly high dose, 425mg, so we may need to back her down slowly. Lab work on Monday may also help to pinpoint the source. High blood sugar can cause blurred vision, and since Seroquel has been implicated with causing diabetes, we have to keep an eye on this. We should have had the labs done over a month ago. My fault, really, I just couldn't seem to squeeze yet another appointment in, but that is a lame excuse.

Does the vision improve if she covers one eye? Double vision is awful...So sorry she's going through this.
Funny you should mention this. My daughter has been complaining about vision problems for some time now, even though she checked out OK in her last eye exam. I'll have to mention it to her DR.
We are always late on our labs too. Life just gets too hectic. Hope she gets some relief soon.
My daughter mentioned about a month ago that she's been seeing blury. But she's never had vision problems before. And she hasn't complained about it since. I wondered if her meds could have something to do with it.
We did back down the Lamictal by 25mg, and she said the blurred vision went away, so maybe that was it.
We had to move her back to 425mg after trying to drop the extra 25 mg for blurred vision. She became less stable without it. I guess we do what we have to.
