Dear all,
Just want to follow up, after 3 month without antidepressant... Now I can realize that most of the pain that I felt was actually relating to the medication withdraw.
The symptoms worsened and now being to disappear.
Thank you again!
All the best

Question about medication
Dear all,
Like many others, following dry eyes wan a depression.
As I read here somewhere much of the battle is mental. So after a long period I feel more confident and sure to leave the antidepressant. The big issue is that the pain have worsened greatly. The last few days have been a struggle.... so I am in doubt whether the antidepressant would help the pain or not. All the literature says that this medication can worsen dry eye. So I don't know if this sympthoms are related to weaning or any other cause.
I would love your inputs and comments.
Some Info:
Cause of dry-eye: Lasik
Working more than 10 hours day at the office (computer, a/c)
Left the medication about 1 month
Drops + omega 3 supplements + daily hygiene eyelids
Usually my eye pain is more like dryness feeling, sore eyes... general disconfort
Right now I feel it more like physical pain. The bones around my eyes hurt. Also my nose, I feel like sticking needles, pressure in eyes... It's hard to explain.
This is my second time trying to get off the medication... the first time I was similar (maybe worst symptoms). So started again the antidepressant...
For all of the reason I would like to quit the medication
Thank you in advance for your help!
Have a Happy Easter!
