I'm having a serious problem. I can't focus my eyes and I'm getting double vision. Like, my eyes overshoot

I forgot to take Abilify this morning. I only took Lamictal and Lexapro l. I only started getting these double visions and lack of eye focus after starting Abilify.

Has anyone had this problem? It only started after I took Lamictal and Lexapro

I need to contact my pdoc, but I don't know what to do. It's throwing off my balance

Personally I would skip the Abilify until I hear from my Pdoc

How long have you been taking Abilify?

I started 2 weeks ago. These symptoms only surfaced about 3 days ago, but they're getting worse My balance sucks

I'd ditch that med right now with out a second thought, Call your Pdoc again and make sure you get a response .. its almost the weekend and you don't want to be left hanging...

Yeah, I'm not taking it ever again

I don't know why I still get these effects

I forgot my Abilify this morning and I was fine. Then when I took Lamictal and Lexapro about 20 mins ago, I instantly got the vision problems. I kinda don't want to take any meds in the meantime

I believe that when I was on abilify my pharmacist warned me about vision problems like this and to phone my doctor immediately if I experienced anything like that. So I wouldn't be surprised if it's related to that med.

If your pdoc doesn't contact you pronto call your pharmacist.

I had vision problems with lamictal at 100mg. I had to stop taking it. I was unable to read anything on my phone and had hazy long distance vision.that showed up maybe two weeks after starting it. But if you have been taking it for a long time then it's probably the abilify.

Yes, I've been taking Lamictal for months... But it's so weird. How do I get these vision problems even when I accidentally skip Abilify?

I don't get it. Maybe it's a med interaction... Who knows... but Abilify has to go

I had blurry vision and balance problems on abilify. It started immediately though; I only took it about a week before winding up in the ER. I would contact my pdoc because that's something they need to know, just like any neurological change on a med

Call your pharmacist and ask them some questions about these meds. They are a wealth of information because they know so much about medications and how they work and side effects that are possible.

Continue to call your pdoc until you get a response .

Here is the top side effects I found on WebMd :

Dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, excess saliva/drooling, blurred vision, weight gain, constipation, headache, and trouble sleeping may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

I just talked to my pdoc and he just said he was surprised. He said symptoms usually develop immediately and that he wasn't sure if it was the Abilify. He says he thinks I might be dehydrated due to the Abilify. Dunno. I'm going to see if drinking more water helps for now.

He says to stop the Abilify for now. He wanted to see me, but i said I'm not at home because I have to go to my grandfathers funeral
