Not sure what is going on here>>> Upped my dose by 30% per Neuro (now at 1300mg Teg CR and 40 Baclofen) and have had side effects on and off.....even without changing anything. Few days fine, one day with extreme double vision....then fine again for a week then wop another day out of comission. Good thing is when side effects are bad, pain is good. Anyone else on this roller coaster? Haven't been able to make a connection.
Erin,
My side effects have gotten worse over time. And some days the side effects aren’t as bad.

Thanks Liz…it was odd that i was doing well and then they would hit me bad. I spoke to Family Dr. and he didn’t know what to say???
Hi Erin, I have also found that my side effects seem to get worse the more tired I am or the more stress that I am under. Not always the case but have been tracking it mor over the past few months and it seems to be the case for me. Hope this helps
Thanks Shelley Jay, I have been lucky this week and have had no nasty double vision…i think this is the worse side effect for me…it makes me tired and gives me terrible headaches…i’m keeping my fingers crossed…for me and for everyone else! Have a great day!
Erin
My side effects from trileptal are pretty upsetting. Balance is bad, refelexes are off, regular headaches. Going to ask if I can drop dosage. Feel like a zombie.
Thank you friends for giving me your two cents. It always help to know one is not the odd one out! BTW Double vision had been coming for upwards of 6 hours a day for the past few days and i haven’t made any med changes to explain it. I have now added Gravol just to be able to get off the floor and function. I guess the DV is causing terrible balance issues resulting in nausea. Gravol helps alot! Phew.
Wishing you a pain and side effect free day. LOL
