Does your medication cause you blurred vision?

Hi,

Do you often get it? Or find something else set it off?

Hi, I've just looked on the leaflet and one of the Side effects is blurred vision, double Vision, even Vertigo ŵhich I had for about 4 weeks but as eased off now.

Its so annoying and I never realised it's got some things that I've experienced, or are experiencing, more or less. Such as memory impairment, difficulty finding words, and one other I've noticed is the 10seconds delay say in responding because you have to take in what's just been said. It makes me feel really thick and stupid. I'll be glad when I'm off these tablets.

Hi, I've read through the leaflet some more and noticed one side effect was muscle twitching. Do you get it often?

yes, i get the twitching every day, mostly since i went from 250mg to 300mg so i am seeing if i can drop back down now. Main hassle with the twitching is i have to pick up cups and glasses with both hands to be sure i wont drop them and occasionally i will flick something across the room. When typing, it makes me right mouse click and open one of the little context menu  boxes and if i am doing a download at the time, the download stops so now i have learned to take my hand right off the mouse.

Oh no, that must be so annoying. Can't the Dr give you something else for that, or better still change the TN medication?

Hi,

At first I thought it was my eyes. With using my IPad and reading a lot I just assumed that was causing it.

To think of all the medication I've been on I've never had blurred vision.

Oh well nothing we can do about it. I think I will stay off my iPad and reading just to see if it clears.😕

I hope it will clear up for you! Mine are going blurry at random times so it's quite strange, but maybe giving them a rest will help. 

I'm almost always looking at a computer screen (since I'm a computing student) though I try to rest them also and it sometimes helps to stop them. 

I know that blurred vision is a side-effect of my meds, and I've seen that it's the same for you, so I hope it will go away sometime!

Thank you.

It doesn't seem too bad now since I've rested them from typing etc. so we'll see.

I'm glad I'm not alone with this.

Good luck with your computing. I hope you don't have too much trouble with yours. 

I'm glad it got a bit better after resting.  

And thank you! Revising for exams is slightly hard with blurry eyes but I'm getting there. 

We just have to bear with it unfortunately, maybe it'll go away on it's own.

I'm going to try and not take my IPad or kindle with me when I'm out. I usually use them when I go out and stop for a cuppa. Only problem with this is what else would I do? Look at the four walls lol.

When you're revising for your exams how long to you revise for? Do you have breaks in between?

Hahah yeah exactly, I suppose there's not much else to do is there? 

When I revise I try not to go for much longer than an hour at a time, and then I take a break for as long as I feel like I need (before I get guilty that I'm not revising!) and carry on all day like that. First exam's tomorrow and I've already slightly bruised my hand from writing so much! Then 4 more after that one.

Hope you're doing well and your eyes are doing better
