Great advice, as I have been hitting walls with my search for answers thus far. It's very helpful to find a new direction to explore. I will be looking into this now. Thank you!

My best advice is to go see a functional ophthalmologist or optometrist for vision therapy. This helped us tremendously. ** Do this! It will help you.

I'm sorry you are experiencing these side effects! Hopefully the benefits of the medication will outweigh the side effects for you... thanks for the feedback!
