So about 3 months ago I started noticing that I was having chronic tension headaches (really a feeling of minor pressure on my forehead). Nothing seemed to make them go away and I got myself into quite a anxiety spell over the issue, looking at every possible explanation including brain tumor.
Fast forward to now, and these headaches have for the most part subsided after a prescription of seroquel at 50mg's. Unfortunately after taking this medication I noticed that my vision seemed a bit off. At first it was unmistakably blurry, but then this disappeared. Once at 50mgs though for about a month I started to notice a ghosting effect in my vision when I look at bright lights (my bright red illuminated keyboard for instance seemed to really showcase) however a pinhole test seems to make this go away.
My question is as follows however, due to the eyesight issues I need to now go down on this prescription to 25mgs. Thus, how likely am I to notice my head pressure symptoms again? Is the fact that much of it went a way an indication that it was all stress related or is their something in this medication that might for example mast a physical symptom like something neurologically related.
For refference, before this medication I had a full eye exam (from a specialist), a brief neurological exam, had blood work done, consulted with two separate GP's and finally have been actively seeing my CBT on a weekly basis and they have brought up nothing substantial to suggest that I might have say a tumor.
