It all depends on how [[treatment:lamictal:5508b7fb6bcd61548000025f]] is controlling your seizures. Yes double vision is one of the side effects of this drug along with many others that will make you feel uncomfortable. When i used to take it i had blurred vision, dizziness and uncontrollable shaking of the body just to name a few. If you go off of your meds which i don't recommend, your vision may not get better and you will probably have more seizures. Talk to your doctor first. Choose wisely.

Talk to your neurologist. Keep a journal indicating your meds, dosage and when you are taking them. How you are feeling before taking your meds and after. Or, you can go to this website; www.seizuretracker.com Its a site you can use to remind of meds, write down when you take your meds. It is also available on your phone.
