Members connected with the question about blurred vision and confusion, sharing that these symptoms can be linked to seizure activity, medication side effects, or stress and anxiety. Several members described experiencing double vision, blackouts, or partial vision loss, with some noting that these sensations often signal an incoming seizure or an aura, while others traced the issue to specific medications like Oxcarbazepine or Tegretol, especially when taken without food. A recurring theme was checking medication side effects using resources like drugs.com and paying close attention to patterns to better understand what triggers these episodes.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member,
We have so much in common. I also take Oxcarbazepine, I take it with the Keppra at 9 am and 9 pm. I always eat or drink some, not a meal, before I take these two meds.

I t doesn't happen to me often but occasionally do have vision of double. Sometimes that may lead into a seizure. Also if I close my eyes when that happens it feels better. For feeling time of confusion at times thru life
I believe is a natural action of everyone at times throughout times some times in life.

I get double-vision if I take my meds too early in between my doses. I take Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal)

Yes I do .
You may want to start at checking the side effects of your meds first . I always search on www.drugs.com .

I myself have blackouts and blur visions and found out they were seizures during an inpatient EEG . I also knew they could have happened from side effects from meds.
