So the good doc sent me straight to Topamax because of the weight loss side effects. Funny that you mention the vision- mine seems to have gotten worse lately as well. I've had glasses for four years now- and I'd only wear them to go the movies, but here lately I've been picking them up much more often. How odd. What's the connection there?
