Tears filled my eyes reading this as seeing this gives me continued hope! I don't know whether I'm suffering from the same thing or if this horrible drug Paroxetine has ruined my immune system. I feel like I'm having an immune response to this drug from quitting cold turkey! I've since got back on it & some of the symptoms have gone away but I my hair is not growing, and my scars aren't healing like they have in the best despite using creams, etc. When I got back on the drug I noticed visual changes and still notice them like I can see but vision is a little off I can't explain it. Thanks for sharing your recovery. This gives me hope.

Welcome, @Rishabh

 

Did the blurry vision start when you were taking "zolpidem 12.5, proxi 12.5 for 7 days and trazonil for 12 days"? What are the pharmacy names for proxi and trazonil? Did you start all 3 drugs at the same time? What was the last drug you took, what date?

Hey,

I had started taking zolpidem 12.5 and paroxetine and trazodone 50 mg from 10th march.. I think after taking my second dose of these medicines.. From second day i developed vision problem.. But first I didn't understand that it is due to medication. So i went to eye doctor and they tell I had a high cylindrical number.. Then I take my glasses.. And in the mean while I keep taking on paroxetine till 17th march and trazodone last dose I take on 23rd march.Since then I m suffering from vision problems.. At the beginning it was very difficult for me to focus and everything seems blurry and colors were also looking different...

 

On this month 25 there it will be two months since I last take the dose.. But still vision problems is there.. Although it has reduced a lot from the beginning.. But still in mobile images looks hassy and sometimes blurry.. Sharpness is also less.. And also I very tiny droplets of rain like thing in both my eyes.. I think that is making the vision unclear and hassy.. Because wherever I see I see those tiny droplets of rain. I don't know what it is but I n very afraid.. Please if someone have thi se symptoms please reply me.

We expect the aftemath of a drug adverse effect to very gradually go away over months. Since you've already seen improvement, it's likely to continue.

 

If I were you, I'd avoid psychiatric drugs in the future, especially more than one drug taken at the same time.

Hello @Rishabh

Welcome to SA.

 

I'm sorry you are experiencing adverse effects from psychiatric medication. 

 

Vision problems are quite common among sufferers of adverse effects and withdrawal syndrome. I used to have a lot of vision issues and they have all resolved.

It may take a while but it does get better. 

 

It's good that you've been to the eye doctor to rule out any possible eye diseases. When I was having vision problems I got a clean bill of health from the eye doctor and that's how I eventually figured out that the issue had to do with my brain and its neurological visual processing function. As my brain heals my symptoms slowly improve and fade away. 

 

SA is full of helpful information and resources. Have you had the opportunity to check out these help topics related to difficulties with vision? 

 

 

 

In these help topics you can read about other members' experiences and how they managed. It is one way to feel less alone and possibly pick up useful tips. 

 

Another great area of SA is the recovery forum, where you will find success stories posted by members who have healed from adverse effects and withdrawal syndrome. 

This is one of my favorite threads to visit when I'm feeling like I could use some encouragement and reassurance. There are many hopeful, happy tales of healing!

I know it can feel scary sometimes but try to remember that it is possible to heal. Keep reminding yourself that many people before you have healed and you can, too.

Take care of yourself; make use of the resources available to you through SA; practice acceptance and patience; and you will get there. 

Best of luck to you on your healing journey,

A.
