Just wondering if anyone else have issues with blurred vision after getting off the Cymbalta. It just seems to coincidental to me that that I am having this issue. It is not like it is all the time such as needing glasses. I can close my eyes or look a different direction and they clear up. Just was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Hi again,

Yes My vision is blurred a lot lately. I just got new glasses a couple months ago and it seems like I need to get my eyes rechecked again. I think I'm going to wait until I get through this mess .I really can't afford another new pair of glasses. I'm on a fixed income and it's hard to make ends meet as it is. I truly hope my eyes straighten out again after this mess is over. I do see a light at the end of this long tunnel and can't wait until I get there.

May GOD bless you and keep you safe. :rolleyes:

thanks ,
I wish I new if it was from the cymbalta or not. After almost three weeks you would think this crap would be out of my system.

Trying to divert my attention away from my body aches and pains so thought I would watch Gravity on my home TV-love Sandra B. Yikes! I wouldn't advise. Got a little nauseated but didn't want the fam. to know what was going on...The lights were really flashing and I was oh so dizzy, vision blurred. :unsure:

Xman1, I sympathize....I've developed optic neuritis during withdrawal....it's awful..when it hits, I can't watch anything with a lot of movement...or bright colors, etc...and my vision gets so blurred I have trouble reading anything...ice packs help me a lot...

    I c/t'd from 60mg in 2009. Went back on and started tapering. Spent the next 4 years trying to get off. It was very difficult. Finally stopped at 17 beads on Dec.4, 2013.

Yes for me too. My blurry vision started while tapering
and continues. Somedays its worse than others. My
eyes also burn.

    Read so many painful stories on here and offering others support while trying to heal myself from cymbalta and other antidepressents.

Xman, welcome...Hope you are finding the loving support from the members of this forum...Gravity might not have been your best pick for the dizziness you experience, although I bet it sure was worth it..lol lol.

You've come to the right place for your support..

I apologize for making my introduction short, although I need to go and watch gravity myself..

Best of luck ty o you....
