Treatment for Visual Snow Syndrome
Lamotrigine, an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizer, acts as a sodium channel blocker that modulates glutamate neurotransmission and reduces neuronal hyperexcitability in Visual Snow Syndrome. By stabilizing neuronal membranes and potentially mitigating cortical hypermetabolism, it may help reduce visual disturbances and improve neurological symptoms associated with the syndrome.
