    Afternoon Angie,

    I do get almost identical symptoms, almost like a 'tunnelling' effect, narrowing vision and blurriness.

    I don't get it often but it is quite disconcerting when it happens. I tend to get the efffect when I'm anxious and the slurred speech makes me even more aggitated.

    I don't know whether it's yet another symptom of the anxiety or just another blooming side effect of the medication?

    I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable members can shed more light on the issue?

    Happiness and light to all,

    I saw her once, one little while, and then no more:
    ’Twas Eden’s light on Earth a while, and then no more.
    Amid the throng she passed along the meadow-floor:
    Spring seemed to smile on Earth awhile, and then no more;
    But whence she came, which way she went, what garb she wore
    I noted not; I gazed a while, and then no more!

    Hehe, I'm not a "knowledgeable" member but it sounds like a classic symptom of migraine.

    The visual problems can occur with or without headache.

    Might be a good idea to go and see your GP.

    Hiya

    I get these symptoms when I'm about to get a migraine. Do you get a bad headache too? If it's a migraine try resting in a darkened room for a while.

    Take care

    Hi,
    I get these symptoms before I get a migraine, but have had them without the headache as well. Talk to your doctor about how you are feeling.
    Take care,
    Michelle

    hi

    I get the symptons of slurred and mumbled speech when I am feeling really anxiety or panicky - it also gets worse if I am with people and they are constantly asking me what, pardon, what did you say - I geninuely thought I must be the only person in the world that got this because I have never (in my 37-yrs) come across anyone with a similar/the same problem

    Hi Angie,

    It does sound very much like a migraine aura to me. I suffered with them for a long time (without the actual headache). One clue would be that migraine auras only last for about 20-30 mins, after which the vision usually clears but it can leave you feeling a bit nauseous.

    As Kate says, pop along to your GP to talk it over.
