I am on Lamictal 100mg, Cymbalta 60mg, Ativan 1mg, and Trazadone 100mg (for sleep).

I randomly get double vision, even when I wear my glasses. Lights hurt and sometimes give me a migraine. Trying to focus on anything, near or far, is painful. I'm not sleepy, but my eyes just want to be closed.

Anybody experience this issue? It doesn't happen all the time, maybe once every 3-4 days. My pdoc says that it's just a common side effect, but of which medication I'm not sure. Any insight would be helpful.

Lamictal. It gave me blurry vision and headaches from lights but mine was 24/7. I had to stop taking it.

Ditto. I had a lot of balance and visual problems when on too high a dose of Lamictal. Dialed it down and it has been working well since.
Thanks for this!
