Certain medications definitely make my eye issues worse, especially anti-seizure meds. I also seem to be allergic to most of the types of meds they have tried & have bad reactions to many others. Since I never needed any of these before I didn't know until I broke out in hives, rashes, sweats, vertigo, etc. again & again with every new med, so now I stick to strictly pain meds & refuse anti-seizures & any of the anti-depressent types they often prescribe & the hives finally subsided.
Hi, I don't know if you have tried Norspan patches, they are a 7 day slow release patch, a little morphine base. I am on 20mg patches and find they work well when I'm not in big flare up with the CRPS, I am also on Lyrica and was told by my pharmacist that long term use of Lyrica can cause eye problems. I have been suffering with CRPS for 13yrs now and I have Ketamine Infusions every 4 to 6 months and gee that works a treat. Hope you are having a good day, me not as getting ready for another infusion. Cheers Michelle
