Hello Amy and welcome to Neurotalk - you will meet many great people here who I am sure will be more than happy to help you in any way they possibly can!!

I'm sorry to hear about the vision problems you are having due to the Antidepressents , I really hope you get some answers soon. I have only been on one Antidepressent to try and help me sleep (Amitriptyline) and that also caused me to have some pretty severe vision problems. All of my vision went blurry and I couldn't see anything - sometimes it was like I was seeing 2 of everything. My mum decided to take me to the Opticians where they checked out all of my eyes and said that my pupils were extremely dilated but that they thought it was a side effect/reaction to the meds I was on. I spoke to my Doctor about it and he got me straight in to see him and decided to wean me off the Amitriptyline gradually and after a few days, my vision was back to normal thankfully!

If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask - I am more than happy to help you in anyway I possibly can.

Take care and I hope you get some answers.

Alison
