Anyone experience blurred vision & sore/watery eyes?

Posted , 1 user is following.

My 7 year old daughter has been on Pizotifen for 2 weeks now, she was diagnosed with abdominal (finally). I have to say the pills seem to have worked miracles, 1st time in almost 6 months she hasn't said her head and tummy hurts. UNFORTUNATELY she has had a rash all over her body, lasted 3 days so I thought just reaction to new drug but now she is having blurred vision in one eye. Both her eyes are sore and keep watering but she says one side is blurry. Has anyone else experience this? The doctor says probably just eye infection but I'm not too sure......

Thanks

    I have been having pre and post menstrual migraines for the past 6 years and this year have been prescribed Pizotifen. I was taking 1.5mg nightly but the migraines soon came back. I am now on 3mg nightly and I have gained weight and am very tired and lethargic (even though I can still go about my daily routine as a childminder). I am exhausted by the time I go to bed (at 9pm) and am out like a light after taking my next dose for the evening.

    I too, have been suffering from eyes that look like I was drinking heavily from the night before and they feel gluey/watery and do become blurry frequently.

    I am coming off the tablets and hope to resume normality very soon. I do take (as a last resort) Zomig sprays which eliminates the pain when it arrives but you're still left exhausted when the migraine attacks finishes.
