An Attempt to Switch Anti-Seizure Meds

7/10/2009 - My neurologist suggested that I switch from Dilantin to Lamictal. I took my first dose of Lamictal. 2 hours later my vision blurred and my heart raced. Again, terror gripped me, I was home alone and didn't know what to do. I called my neurologist and he told me to discontinue the Lamictal and stick to the Dilantin. I sweated out the side effects of the blurred vision and heart racing just praying to God to take care of me. Eventually the side effects would subside.
