Hi,
How are you? Can you elaborate on the findings of the neuro-optha? I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment also. But it could indeed be due to side effects of post vitreous detachment. Stress and medical history of diabetes and nearsightedness may also play a role in the generation of floaters. Try not to be scared. Developing a daily routine of relaxation may also help. Talk to your attending doctor about this to ease any form of anxiety. Take care and regards.
my neuro-opth visit(4hrs drive) was complete disappointment.he couldn't understand the reason,thinks it might be side effects of Post vitreous detachment,but my opthamologist says it's not.
My vision conditions getting worse day by day..scared
they are giving medicines for depression & migraines n...i tried topomax,gabopentin,pamelor,lexapro in last 6 months..none of them worked,instead i had very bad side effects from them & my doctor couldn't understad why the symptoms existing 24/7....he said it should be there for short time when i get migraines.....
i did visit best opthamologists & neurologists here...i'm having nuero-opthamologist visit next week...hope he'll find out something & doesn't say i have to live with them....(i cried when my ophamologist said i have to live with these crazy floaters all my life)
i just want to know does anybody has/had these symptoms or heard?
does it go away?i know floaters won't go away,but i just want to get rid of other symptoms...
please let me know...
Hi,
If your symptoms are worse and the medications are not helping, I highly recommend that you inform your attending physician and be referred to a specialist or neuro-opthalmologist for proper evaluation. Direct clinical examination is important for proper evaluation. You can be prescribed with a stronger medication to help with your symptoms. At this point, try to avoid driving also to prevent any accident. Take care and do keep us posted.

Hi,
Thanks for the update. It is good that the MRI was fine. Anti-depressants and anti-epileptic drugs may be prescribed to prevent migraine attacks. In your case, lexapro can be part of the preventive management. With regards to your visual problems, this can be due to the visual aura usually observed with migraine attacks. You may also benefit from a referral to a neuro-opthalmologist to ease any anxiety regarding this matter. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
My MRI came clear.I'm still having migrains & my visual snow & vibrating vision(i guess i feel vision is vibrating because of visual snow) got worse,& i also ave lots of floaters in my eyes:((((((
My doctor suggested me to take anti-depression pills(lexapro),but i read in net it will worse visual problems...don't know what to do.
Now i'm more worried about my vision...i can't go out anywhere....
Hi,
How are you? Migraines are often associated with vision symptoms. To prevent these, both abortive and preventive medications prescribed by your doctor may help. If these do not help, you could also benefit from a referral to a neuro-opthalmologist. Take care and do keep us posted with the MRI results. Best regards.
