Headache and Blurred Vision

Hi,
I am a 27 year old male with no prior history of headache. About 6 months
back I had a severe headache onset. Since that time I have been
having a daily headache with blurred vision. My CT scans, VEP are
all normal.  I was put on Serzone (which blurred my vision even more)
and Remeron which did nothing. I am now on 75 mg Elavil and the
pain seems to have been controlled.
I am extremely worried about my vision. I am sensitive to bright lights
and when I read, the letters pulsate and I see streaks across the paper.
Opthalmologic and neurologic exams are all normal. What is the best
accepted course of treatment when there is a chronic neurologic deficit like this blurred
vision ?
I realize that this could be the anti depressant. But I don't think
so - the characteristics of my blurred vision are exactly as it
was in the beginning before start of anti deps.
