Too much of a good thing?

[EllMitcho]

Hi - I have been on Restasis for 7 weeks or so now and initially had very positive results in that I had several good days on the spin after about 4 weeks dropping twice a day.

Being a typical male I therefore thought that more is better and after reading some posts here I upped my dosage to 4 times daily - since then my eyes are not so good.

Anyone experienced this also ? Too much Restasis is a bad thing? Are my eyes getting used to the drug?

Ive reduced my dose bace to 2 x daily to see if this has a positive effect.

Thanks

Ell

You have to taper up to 4 times a day. 7 weeks may be too soon . Try refridgerating the drops as well. Have faith that you will be eventually be able to increase your dose. I almost stopped the first day using Restasis because my eyes went totally red and felt like fireballs. Now after 4 months I can use it as often as I like. Good luck

Thanks for the replys folks - appreciated - I'm back on twice a day refrigerated drops now so fingers crossed!

This forum is really great - just little nuggets of experience and encouragment really help with DES - thanks again
