That is eye opening and very disturbing. It’s something people need to be aware of and not just assume if a Doctor has a fancy pedigree it means they are better than any other trained medical provider.
Thank you for sharing this info  Oh the horror those children went through

My thumb was scraped up from the carpet when I fell, so I had like a huge hole in my thumb!! What happened was, the double vision made me see multiple steps at once. I couldn't tell which step was real or not, so when I tried to step down on the stairs, I guess the step I wanted to put my foot on was just an artifact of the double vision (i.e., it didn't exist). I then tried grabbing for the handrail when I missed that step so that I wouldn't fall, but of course I saw "two" handrails instead of one. I apparently grabbed the one that didn't exist. lol. Then I fell down on my arm and thumb. |

Oh my! What a trouble! When I was just starting Seroquel [I know this thread is about Lamictal, but I thought I'd share about falling.] I think, I kept feeling as though I would faint. I'd have to sit down really quickly in order not to fall over. This happened 2 or maybe 3 times in one evening. Pdoc said to next time take the Seroquel right before I got in bed- as in "Put in mouth, get into bed". That helped. I got into bed and then remembered that I needed to brush my teeth, so I got up and its only a step or two to my bathroom from the bed and I found myself standing in front of the mirror over the sink and boom! Faint again. That time, I sat down very quickly so as to not fall down. Then I crawled back to bed.
