Citalopram-Vision issues
Posted , 6 users are following.
I was on Citalopram for three years and weened off. Just started taking again and my having strange vision symptoms. Tunnel, blurry, almost a "staticky" feeling. Anyone else have anything like this?

It’s a very common side effect , I had it and occasionally when I’m very anxious still get it , it’s both a Cit side effect and an anxiety symptom.

My GP recently increased my citalopram dose from 30mg to 40mg/day and he warned me that, because of my age, one side-effect could be glaucoma. He advised me to get an eyesight check-up as Cit can increase eye pressure and thus trigger glaucoma, where you lose peripheral vision and end up with tunnel vision.

I believe it is an age issue. I'm 67. GPs don't normally prescribe more than 20mg/day to patients over 60 and when my GP increased my dose to 40mg/day he warned me of two possible side-effects. One was glaucoma, the other was the increased possibility of bone fractures.
