Hello,
Escitalopram (Cipralex) can cause impaired concentration;Amitriptyline (Elavil) can cause decreased memory; Gabapentin can cause abnormal vision (double vision).
None of these drugs is known to increase eye sensitivity to light.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
