When I got my first prescription for Trileptal it said you can have a sensitivity to sun.. Well when i'm in the sun for even a short period of time I start to get this thing in my vision where i'll see a spot but its more of like, wahtever i'm looking at, will seem to have a wave in it, Like an example, If i look at my arm part of my vision will be messed up and itll seem liek its caving in sort of.. I find it looks alot like a pool when the suns out, I don't know if anyone knows waht i'm talking about but, Is this serious or an oncoming seizure? It happens almost everytime i'm out in the hot sun, And it doesn't take long to happen, Does anyone els have anythign similar or as odd as t his? or heard of it?

Nope, I haven't been wearing any sunglasses, Do you think sunglasses would prevent it?

The warning about the sun is due to the pigmentation of our skin, you can burn more easily. Allot of medications have this warning. However, the problem you are experiencing is something different and I would definitely ask your doctor about it.
I personally cannot stay in the heat for an extended period of time (no more than an hour tops!) or I will have a seizure. I try and stay away from it altogether if I can!
