depression introspection 
Have the withdrawal-type symptoms gotten better? I’m on Lamictal so I’m wondering how easy it will be to come off of it whenever I get taken off it.
I have blurry vision, but I think that’s just cuz my contacts don’t fit my eyes as well as they should. The main problem I have with it is that I gag everytime I take a pill. Something about the size/shape and the fact that it’s very chalky makes it hard for me to swallow.
The blurry vision is a side effect, believe it or not. I have contacts too.
What mg are you on? I find that if I swallow a bunch of water with the pill — I’m bad at taking pills too — it goes down much easier.
Blech. 😛
I agree that the blurry vision is a side effect of lamictal withdrawal, hope you will get better soon.
