Eyesight is getting weak
I am on a medication of a doctor for reatlessness, depression and chronic anxiety
I am now on a following medication;
1. Escigress 0.25 mg
2. Sizodon 0.5 mg
3. Mirtex 15 mg
4. Provenol forte 0.25 mg
5. Desveren 50mg
I am taking above medicines from 5 months, in this 5 months my eyeglasses no. has increased and it is getting weak day by day. Is this due to the medicines i am taking. I consult it to my doctor but he said that it is not due to medicine. But when i searched on google i founded that some of these medicines may affect your eye sight. Please give me advise what should i do now?
Hello,
The treatment prescribed to u includes 3 antidepressants at the same time (which is scientifically not rationalised)... In the last prescription (27-01-2017) he changed the medicines... again not a fan of him for doing that also.... Any way he may have had his reasons... Coming back to the question u raised.... These medicines have effects on vision which are blurring of vision, dryness of eyes, etc
But these effects at the same time are not permanent and gradually become less problematic with time and completely stop once medicines r stopped. But then u seem to be experiencing them so much coz of the cocktail being used without scientific rationale
Next Steps
Either reconsider discussing the facts with doctor which if does not acknowledge then u can reconsider changing ur doctor.... As there are scientific guidelines for every illness and none of them advises to use these combinations for ur kinda problems.... U ll need thorough evaluation so as to derive upon the right medicines and beyond medicines too(I mean counselling / psychotherapy)
Health Tips
Hope this helps u... Feel free to raise any further queries
