My concern about the antidepressants and neuropathy come from a google search on Celexa, a few instances of people saying it caused their neuropathy. I had been on Lexapro, a clean version of Celexa for a couple of years and my current doctor has prescribed it for me now.
My vision really a concern for me, I have pigmentary glaucoma and have already lost sight, 30%, in my right eye. Now comes the blurry/double vision, it's scarry. My Opthamalagist can't find a reason.
Thanks again,

I am weaning off meds cause for me they did not help though not sure now so may go back on them but I was on a combo of neurontin,cymbalta,klonopin and serequel. I understand your worry about the side effects but for myself I feel they list every possible side effect and I just tell my doctors my concern. I get to the point though that I have to try something to make things better and I always start the smallest as I am very cautious about procedures etc.
I do have vision issues but mine actually have gotten better then pre all meds so maybe that was help will see and I am in a flare so the meds may have helped with the PN and RSD. I went to 50 apts in a year for my eyes and dozens of specialist. Mine was more severe pain,pressure etc. Have you had an mri of your brain? What about scan of your eyes?
