I am having vision problems. I have had vision problems for days to 2 weeks now. Its like I can see but barely. Is this the aptiom, or what could it be?

Ask your doctor if it's ok to reduce your medicine.

For the first time I took Aptiom I got that problem because I took it along with my Vimpat, Kepra, and onfi. I told my doctor and it was a drug overdose. So now I take 1000 of Aptiom at lunch and the rest is breakfast and dinner time. Its safer to take Aptiom alone because of the amount of mg.
