Common Questions and Answers about Neurontin and blurred vision

neurontin

Avatar n tn The common side effects of neurontin are blurred vision, dizziness, and muscle ache, swelling of hands, feet, or lower legs, trembling and unusual tiredness. Lyrica is also known to cause general weakness, lethargy, blurred vision, ascites, facial edema, generalized edema etc. You must consult your neurologist to change your medications since both of these can cause swelling and you have swelling in both the legs.
1415174 tn?1453243103 I was on other meds, Celebrex, Skelaxin and am off of all except Neurontin. I have tapered the Neurontin to 500mg/day. This question is related to side effects that may be due to Neurontin or maybe my migraines. When I was on a higher dose of Neurontin I was getting almost daily visual disturbances in both eyes that looked like what my migraine auras look like but those are in one eye and are followed by a headache.

Avatar f tn The neurotin and gabapentin which should help cause me to stumble and get blurred vision. I have a hard time taking the xanax and soma as I fear addiction.... it s the only thing that lets me sleep at night. Any suggestions?
1415174 tn?1453243103 I have seen in the package insert of Neurontin that it can cause visual disturbances and rare retinal problems etc. I have also seen a New Zealand study recently that said some people get a visual disturbance from Celebrex. I am quitting both for that reason. Has anyone had visual problems from either drug? I get a wavy line that moves (like a migraine aura without the migraine) for about half an hour in both eyes and it goes away.

Avatar m tn She does take medications on a daily basis, (zoloft, welbutrin, neurontin, B-12, and lamictal) for depression and anxiety. Some of the symptoms are possible side effects but, all of them? Please help!!
Avatar n tn For over six months, I have had blurred vision in my left eye on a daily basis. I have a history of classic migraine with aura, and I have noticed that it appears to get really really worse with conventional migraine triggers - red wine, too much or too little caffeine, etc. Other symptoms also, including dizziness, "drunk" feeling, occasional confusion, some intermittent weakness, but the most prominent symptom is visual. It is rarely painful, though there is pressure at times.
653169 tn?1303446369 ve been taking the neurontin at bedtime cause my eyes are closed (so no blurred or double vision), and it helps since alot of my nerve pain is at night esp. muscle twitches. I see my doc in a week and will ask him if I can just take it at night, otherwise I dont know what's next.
Avatar f tn It did actually relieve a little of my joint pain, but I still had other numerous problems, blurred vision, migraines, IBS, pins and needles, and chronic fatigue. Then an LLMD diagnosed me via IGENIX and CD 57 test and I have Lymes. So I can't really say the medicine gave me those problems because LYMES does too. All I can say is that it may make you a little nauseous in the beginning and to get regular eye exams (mine were normal). Good luck!
Avatar n tn You definitely need to talk to your doctor. Blurred vision is not a side effect I'm aware of, but that doesn't mean that isn't what it is. It could also be a symptom of anxiety. There are two common symptoms of anxiety called "depersonalization" and "derealization" that can cause the impression of having blurred vision. You can do some searching here about those symptoms, to see if maybe that is a possibility.
Avatar f tn Other than my glasses prescription there isnt anything wrong with my eyes that cause my blurred and double vision and visual snow.... I have nystagmus ( eyes jiggle when I look far left and right lol) but other to that I have no proper answer. The ns I seen and docs think my vision all down to migrains but who hasnt heard that right?
Avatar f tn the problem started last week as i had very bad headache and dizziness and then I started to loose the vision on my right eye I see like something covered with voile and i can't read any writing when i cover my left eye i only see a white shadowed pictures. I normally suffer of minor migraine.
Avatar f tn Blurred vision and lightening type floaters that appeared and also one time recently in boat it appeared as if the floor of the boat and walls of the boat were moving. It looked like moving mud. I have gone to eye dr and basically said I need reading glasses. I also then went to dr for 3 dizzy spells and basically said it was vertigo but heard a carotid bruit and sent me for ultrasound which in turn was normal.
745783 tn?1267545626 my son has a few problems but at the moment when he washes his hair or scratches the back of his head at the base he gets blurred vision evry time can you tell me what this could possibly be
Avatar f tn t handle the therapy and work in same day. Then 29 days later (while working part time and going to vision therapy) the blurred vision came back and lasted a little less than 2 wks. Been out of work since then and plan to go back after the therapy is done. Nobody has ever heard of this kind of severe eye strain. I'm doing everything I can but I have no real answers and I'm scared of loosing my job. Help.
Avatar f tn 2nd shot last night, but 2 times i have gotten cloudy or blurred vision, it comes and goes... anyone have any input before i start going into alot of drama? (lol).
6838479 tn?1390502941 Same thing happened to me. Could be a sign of gestational diabetes . My sugar was low that day so I got a migraine with blurred vision. I don't have diabetes but eating regularly and healthy seemed to have help.
498375 tn?1212265416 About 3 months into tx my good right eye got a lot of floaters (annoying) and my vision also got a little blurry. It is now 8 weeks post tx and the blurry vision is either gone or i am used to it. I still have the floaters though. One thing I have noticed lately is my eyes used to get very dry. It seemed that bright lights and watching TV really bothered them. It caused a very dry or burning sensation. That doesn't happen anymore.
Avatar n tn I had cataract surgery on jan. 21, and since then i had this terrible glare and i feel that i have to wear dark glasses even at home. I told my doctor , he evaded my concern and repeated that all is well in my eye, the lens placement is perfect and the incision is healing . I felt like an idiot and thought that my problem must be psycological. this morning God sent me to this forum to discover that i am not crazy .
Avatar m tn Initially, it started off as double vision and within a week became blurred. Her vision has further deteriorated in this time, with the eyes becoming cross-eyed, and where she was initially able to read, she can no longer see text unless the letter is the size of an A4 sheet of paper.
Avatar f tn before pregnancy I had great vision and now it's hard to focus on anything without it being blurry. Will my vision go back to normal after baby?
Avatar m tn just that one symptom of blurred vision when trying to read or focus. This has happened in the past and it went away after several days. What could this possibly be and should I be concerned?
Avatar f tn However I still have confusion because when the nurse called to schedule my left eye this Thursday and I expressed my concerns she said many people said their first eye never got better till they did the second one because of the eyes trying to compensate for each other. My vision is now 20/20 after surgery and 20/40 in the one without. How have people managed their sight in the past?
