    Hey I've had an awful year it never ends.

    I was put on venaflaxine 5 weeks sgo shortly after I was last on here I started getting severe and bizarre vision problems including double vision, Many copies of led clock times stacked on top of each other etc.

    an emergency optician told me to get off them asap as I have narrowing angles and will go blind, I was then yanked off them instantly which isn't how you're ever meant to come off medications, which not only returned my original issues of severe anxiety disorder and tremors but added several other problems like mood swings migraines and brain zaps and su...dal behaviour.

    I was referred at speed to brighton eye hospital who want me back in May for a laser procedure to fix the high risk of a rare type of sudden glaucoma attack.

    the new meds prescribed last week I've literally just received as they managed to mess that up too and lose the prescription.

    so I'm now slowly starting again and when I'm well again I'll have no choice but to put in a formal complaint about the constant mistakes and six weeks of misery I've been through.

    I've been thrown on and off diazpam like a raggy doll to bridge the gaps in their constant mistakes.

    today is the first Day I'm seeing a hope of getting well but waiting for the eye hospital isn't helping with the risk hanging over me.

    hope everyone else is doing ok.

    I am so sorry you are having such a challenging time @Nightcity I hope the new meds will help and you have no side effects.
    I think you have had more than your share of bad luck. I hope things begin to get better for you.

    I hope you do not have to wait too long for your eye hospital appointment.

    Take care.

    Bless you @Nightcity that's a hell of an ordeal and must have been so scary. I'm so pleased you're starting to feel hopeful. Fingers crossed your new medication kicks in soon and you start to feel better. ๐Ÿ’›

    thank you both, I've been so angry and they know I'm not letting it go, I may change surgery as the trust is now absolutely gone @Holly_Scope @Bluebell21 apparently the eye hospital is satisfied the chance of an acute glaucoma attack within a month is low but in the long term it's inevitable so they did promise 4 weeks ideally six maximum to do it.

    it's typical because apparently that's also rare in Caucasian males especially under 60 years old it's almost exclusively an elderly female or Asian community condition but that's my luck for you LOL. they believe as I'm abnormally far sighted and have smaller eyes that's been underlying and likely would never ever have been an issue however a handful of medications venaflaxine being one can set it off and as it's on my records as a child as far back as 1992 it shouldn't of been prescribed.

    thankfully this procedure has a 90% + success rate and I'll be no more at risk after than anyone else. ๐Ÿ’›

    I'm not surprised you've been feeling angry @Nightcity. It must have been really worrying for you. I'm just pleased you managed to get off the medication before it got any worse.

    It sounds like you're coming out the other side of it now thankfully, especially with that really positive success rate. Will you keep us updated on how you're getting on?

    sure.

    I had to sort myself out which is absolutely plain wrong because it changed everything about me including my personality I avoid trouble and detest aggression and suddenly I was ranting and saying some absolutely evil things but yes thankfully I'm now myself again and it can only go the right way.

    thanks the diazpam is fine it's a low dose and was separated by two weeks between courses, the venelafaxine was the problem I'm just glad to be rid of it.

    that's kind mum goes back on the kidney transplant list straight after my eyes are sorted, the consultant said this morning the ablation was a success no afib, no heart failure anymore extremely unlikely for another cardiac arrest just needs one more person to clear her and alls good ๐Ÿ’›

    I would be angry too @Nightcity what a nightmare for you. You must complain once you are able to. What you went through is not acceptable.

    Take care.

    thanks bluebell they seems genuinely baffled to why I'm so angry and distressed even after explaining clearly how what should of been a simple one off appointment with one person and one med becoming a six week disaster involving numerous mistakes by Many people misleading and interfering or overruling the other.

    you take care too ๐Ÿ’›
