I noticed the first week I took Celexa 10 mgs (started September 20th) that my pupils seemed very dilated. That went away and then a while later I noticed the right one was more dilated than the left, sometimes by a lot. Most of the time it's very small. I have seen the neurologist twice who checked my eyes and reflexes etc. and said he didn't see signs of anything wrong but does see signs of migraine which I do have (for at least 16 years now, sinus migraines mostly and had aura in the past as well.) He told me take B2 vitamins to help with that and he would order a brain MRI just for my peace of mind. I'm in Canada so I have to wait 3 - 4 months for it unless I pay for it myself and I can't afford to right now.
On to what's been happening the past week. I've been on 20 mgs a day for about 6 weeks or something like that now and I noticed that my left eye is sometimes seeing a bit double -- just my left one. When I look at the light on my DVD player it looks like there's 2 lights, a normal one and a "ghosted" one next to it that is like a shadow. The clock radio does the same thing where I see the numbers and then a sort of "drop shadow" effect of another set of the numbers. It doesn't seem to be noticable when I look at large things or look around. It comes out a lot when I look at certain types of digital lights or writing on a TV screen etc.
Could this be from the Celexa? It started about a week or so ago though I have had blurred vision before from playing on my tablet too long or being online and looking at things up close too long. I have astigmatism in one eye and wear glasses, though I can't remember which eye has the astigmatism.
I have read so much about Celexa and honestly I have had so many side effects that I can't even keep them all straight. I had constant tremors for 6 weeks, day and night. I had severely increased anxiety the first 2 weeks and so on and so forth. I have been battling all these side effects and now worrying about my pupils, my brain, my eyesight.
Anyone experience this double vision sort of thing on Celexa? I'm seeing the eye doctor on Friday. I can't see the neurologist again til February since he's away and it's hard to get appointments here in Quebec. I didn't have the double type vision when I saw him about 3 weeks ago.
I also had a weird thing happen about 2 weeks ago where some weird yellowish fluid dripped out of my nose when my head was down. I talked to a clinic doctor, my family doc and 3 nurses who all said it's mucus and not spinal fluid. I always think the worst and panic. they're all kind of looking at me like, that girl is a mess.
Oh yeah the double vision thing went away after about ten mins the first time I noticed it, but it was at night and \i went to sleep so it could have lasted longer. I have not noticed it for about 4 days and today it came back. Then it also went away mid day for about an hour and now it's back. It gets better, then worse then better. It's all over the place. Does Celexa cause that? Why would it keep changing like that and then go away and all?
