Lotemax is killing me...
So, my new ophtho just started me on Lotemax and it is absolutely killing me. I have taken it only 3 or 4 days - approximately 2 or 3 drops per day and now I am at the worst point I have ever been with dry eye.
I stopped the Lotemax and took my last dose yesterday morning. The effects are not really wearing off yet. I have been rinsing with preservative free saline and that helps. Also, I am now having to use celluvissc all day instead of once a week. Also, I am putting in Refresh PM at least once during the day.
I have to say I am pretty scared that my eyes won't come back from this...
To be fair, I had a few other things happen - I had IPL on the day I started my Lotemax, I also just started cromolyn sodium 2% eye drops. But I don't think either of those will cause this...
FML Ointment is the only thing that works for me - not lotemax, not dexamethasone - its the only thing that works...
