I got an MRI done and waiting for a Lumbar puncture. my ophthalmologist said my optic nerve is swollen. i'm almost weaned off of lithium. my little blind spots seem to be better still a ways to go. i can read the alarm clock without moving my eye around like before so i think it's slowly clearing up. I think the lithium created to much cerebral spinal fluid causing more pressure. That's what the dr thinks now. But i am so tired in the front of my brain. I don't know if it's from compensating for the bad eye or the ablilify or both. but i lost interest in everything important to me. It gradually got worse after starting abilify. all i feel like doing is laying down and sleeping. it feels too hard to sit at the computer or sit or stand anywhere.
