seroquel and glaucoma

Yes when I was on Seroquel I had to get an eye exam each year due to the extremely rare risk of cataracts but I saw an opthamologist anyway so it was no big deal. That is statisically rare and no reason to be concerned about Seroquel and a check up as I suggested is the best form of follow up. Seroquel is safe in this regard. In this case (you know I am always factual) your pharmacist was overstating the risk but a follow up visit is generally a good idea.

I personally often stop the xalatan for a few months after surgery and use another glaucoma drop instead but many doctors don't do that. Basically, if your surgeon is experienced and excellent, the chances of success are very, very high.

My next appt to follow up on my suspicious glaucoma status is 7/16. My husband and I are trying to conceive right now. I wonder if it is safe to use glaucoma eye drops when conceiving or pregnant? I"m pretty sure he's gonna put me on glaucoma eye drops.

There is a form of glaucoma (normal tension glaucoma) that sometimes fools doctors into thinking the glaucoma is under control or not present as the eye pressure seems OK but the vision might still deteriorate. If ever in doubt, you could always get a second opinion with another glaucoma specialist to make sure everything is being done correctly.

Remember thee were studies that showed that smoking was good for you, that opioids were not addicting, and that coffee caused ulcers.

dear Doctor, my vision is blurry when I read small text and the opthamologist says I probably have early glaucoma- I did the spark field of vision test and couldn't see the peripheral sparks. I argued him into giving me steroidal eye drops. is my vision going to deteriorate and I should only read larger text? I've been on clomid and spiriva which are known to cause glaucoma and increased eye pressure.

Since seroquel can cause high BG you sure your diabetic and not as a result of seroquel raising your BG? Go to Google and put seroquel into the serch field.

I was developing glaucoma (early stages) from steroids. I stopped the steroids and the condition resolved itself. Stop the steroids if you can. I was using Advair for COPD. There were many bad side effects. But I found that I actually got better results using natural remedies. No side effects. If COPD is your problem look to natural alternatives.

See an Eye MD ophthalmologist every year and going blind from glaucoma is very unlikely. Most glaucoma patients go blind because they don't use their medicine, stop going to the doctor or don't have the disease diagnosed until end stage.

It seems that glaucoma is listed as a possible side effect for just about every prescription medication these days. I am taking Remeron (mirtazapine, for anxiety and insomnia) and, of course, glaucoma is listed. How big a threat is this? Do I stop taking the pills? I don't have glaucoma and last check-up had healthy optic nerves, although moderate cupping. it's not listed as a common side effect, but it is mentioned.

In this case you probably do NOT have a condition called angle closure glaucoma. This is the type of glaucoma that can be affected by cold medications. If you have open angle glaucoma or any other type of glaucoma, cold medications are fine.

l visited my eye doctor today and asked him if l should go back on the eye drops because my pressure is backup , he took scans and said all the scans and tests were good and the nerve damage and glaucoma has not gotten worse since l stopped the eye drops so there no need to go back on them.

How does glaucoma affect your Ganglion Cells Comples (GCC) and Retina Nerve Fiber Layers (RNFL)?

Only people with a rare UNTREATED type of glaucoma called angle closure glaucoma should avoid those medications and only until the Eye MD treats it with laser iridectomy.

You would need to sit down with glaucoma specialist/OB-GYN to discuss each of the 4 groups of eye drops and also SLT laser and understand the possible risks to you and fetus vs the risk of permanent damage if you don't use meds. There is no risk free course. Needling is what I was referring to.

My first pregnancy i did bot use it and my daughter is very smart. I was wondering if any of you have used seroquel and delivered a healthy baby.

I also went to my eye doc for a gulag check up and he said I have glaucoma and optic nerve damage. I am 53 and glaucoma does NOT run in my family,(I am the first in my family). He said I need to see a specialist this week. I m also seeing a specialist for my ear this week. My ear doc said he is "very suspicious ". He wanted to know more as to why I was Boeing tested for ms and why I am having ear trouble, low vitamin D, headaches and now glaucoma .

My mother has *both* PXE and glaucoma. So, is it still a good idea to have cataract surgery sooner rather than later?

Has anyone taken Seroquel and anti-biotics and are now experiencing heart problems? Do these issues subside, I stopped the seroquel when this happened?

My question I took my first dose of Seroquel XR last night and woke with small puffy area inside the 'bags' under my eyes they are still there 9 hours into the day - a non-work, no sun, low energy day (the bags are normal, puffiness is normal when I cry) but usually the whole 'bag' is swollen not just a part. They are not exactly the same size or in the same position, not red, itchy, hot or sensitive.

Every atypical antipsychotic has the potential of metabolic changes that can cause weight gain and on ocassion diabetes but if you eat a sensible diet and exercise that can be kept under control (that also includes the second issue, a person I knew developed pre-diabetes from Abilify and through weight loss, proper dieting and exercise and following up with his doctor was able to keep this in check).

The knowledge that I have is that xanax and Seroquel do not have an impact on your liver. Also 50 mgs of Seroqeul is very low dose. I am on 600. However it looks like you have hepatitis c and you probably know you shouldn't drink because of that. There are likely a lot of medications that effect your liver. The only ones I know of are Tylenol and pain medicines that contain acetaminophen, but I am sure there are likely a lot more.

Don't quit the Seroquel abruptly -- taper off it. It's interesting you were put on Seroquel and are suffering insomnia -- the only way Valdoxan supposedly works is by increasing the effectiveness of melatonin, which regulates sleep cycles -- in other words, if it works at all for depression, and the evidence appears to be soft, it's by improving sleep.

How safe is 200 milligrams of seroquel while pregnant and nursing? Also, is it dangerous to cut the pills in half to take a lesser dose? Or should you cut or break the pills at all?
