Well remember when I was stopping deprakote? I'm now taking one 500 mil ER pill at night. It's wonderful no more double vision.
But now I have a left over habit of shutting my left eye every once in a while. That's how I was seeing before by keeping one eye shut and it was my left once since that one stays shut better.
Still now I look like I have a problem since I do it with out realizing it. I want to get out of it, but so far it's hard since I just do it with out thinking now. Other people may or may not notice, I'm sure they do though. I think it detracts from how effective I can be at getting professionals to take me seriously. that's hard enough with out the twitch.
I'm pissed about it.

actually I've had to wear and eye patch, on the same eye! TWICE!
I didn't like it very much and kids made fun of me, but I had a scratch on my cornea and I had to wear it. I do believe that my left eye can not see as well as my right eye. Maybe that's why I gravitated towards shutting the left eye as opposed to my right one, not sure.
But yes in this case it's learned because I had to shut it originally on purpose so I could see other wise I'd have to basically sit around and do nothing cause I couldn't see anything.
But now I still shut it even though I can see. Maybe this habit will go away now that I can see again. I'll be working on it.
