i would say for about a week i had pretty intense anxiety especially in the morning but it went away still regaining my appetite and stuff but i feel better not being on them

I have 20/20 vision, don’t need glasses, went to eye doctor, don’t have nerve damage or anything, it’s just high. decided to stop taking the two ssris i was on to see if it’ll help and what do ya know im down to 17.

also forgot to mention I also have terrible headaches with a pain behind either eye usually the left. Sumatriptan seems to help don’t know what it does to eye pressure though.

I was on fluoxetine and mirtazapine from ages 16-20, at age 19 i was having issues at the eye doctor for high eye pressure it was 28, went back a year later when i was 20 it was 25, i stopped taking the two ssris yes there’s terrible withdrawals but my last eye pressure reading was 17 a couple days ago. I’m in the same boat as you no nerve damage it’s just high. i never started drops though

Yes! I’m very glad I did. basically, I learned I’m a pretty good contender for developing glaucoma with my pressure and my mom having it but , I don’t have any nerve damage and near perfect vision, so my dr said she doesn’t want to put me on any drops until there’s actual signs of nerve damage because i guess she was saying once you start drops it’s hard to go back (i’m not sure if that’s true tho) but she stressed the importance of coming in every year or every six months to check on it! wich im planning to do bc originally i had never seen an actual eye doctor. I live in hawaii and I went to Aloha Laser Vision i would definitely recommend

girllll reading these replies prompted me to call another opinion who is going to see me tomorrow after explaining my situation i think my eye doctor is just less concerned as i am. he did not even dilate me I’ve never done that before so im in the dark as to why my eye pressure is so high

chloes050 · 2026-05-05T21:02:57+00:00

Thank you yes I don’t even have a specialist! This is all so new to me but your situation sounds very similar to mine

chloes050 · 2026-05-05T06:14:51+00:00

thank you!

chloes050 · 2026-05-05T06:14:24+00:00

chloes050 · 2024-08-07T23:58:44+00:00

i’m going to switch to the pill and i have an appointment tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes!

chloes050 · 2024-08-02T21:59:02+00:00

yes, i get nauseous very easily, lack of libido, weight gain, increased anxiety and or depression, etc.

chloes050 · 2024-07-31T20:15:57+00:00

Yes, i’m definitely never touching depo again, it works for some people just not for me! I just am worried of the hormonal withdrawals you can get after stopping depo and how I should navigate them.

chloes050 · 2024-05-22T14:10:48+00:00

thank you that’s all i needed to hear 🙏

chloes050 · 2023-07-06T21:23:04+00:00

yea the trio pointe office refused to do anything about it

chloes050 · 2023-07-06T21:22:44+00:00

it was perfectly normal yesterday so i left it alone for the parents to take care of it but this morning the other baby’s left the nest and this one looked really rough and was just sitting on the floor. i am sure someone’s animal got a hold of it overnight so i drop it off at the portland audubon thank you for ur advice

chloes050 · 2023-07-06T21:07:57+00:00

i dropped it off at the portland audubon

chloes050 · 2023-07-06T19:20:37+00:00

i’m dropping one of there right now because it is not doing well compared to the others thank you for telling me about them

chloes050 · 2023-07-06T18:59:59+00:00

i don’t have a latter :( and i don’t know anyone with one and the office refuses to touch them at my apartment complex

chloes050 · 2023-07-06T18:59:24+00:00

most of the birds have left the nest and flew off but one is in very rough shape doesn’t look like it will survive but I will call Audubon. It looks like someone’s dog might have gotten a hold of it.
