[Pa...] Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I guess I was confused by your CT from Prozac and Paxil. But just to let you know I had terribly dry eyes when I was recovering from Klonopin so that at least I can confirm is a withdrawal symptom. I tried drinking more water and using eye drops but nothing seemed to help but finally healing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[de...] Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Developed dry eyes in tolerance.. Over time additional symptoms would appear. Red, teary, itchy, floaters, blurry, flashes, etc, etc. I'm 21 months off Valium and I am left with dry eyes only, the rest has just about disappeared.

[Sh...] Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Omg yes. One eye looks smaller than the other because it is so red and irritated always itchy and sore. Some days worse than others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I remember feeling so much pressure that I couldn’t even see straight. I had an eye doctor check the pressure in my eyes I couldn’t focus on an object Everything hurt I could barely use my phone or anything bright It hurt so bad And Advil didn’t help. It was like deep in my eye sockets That’s gone now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Sh...] Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I've had this terribly. I did all the eye checks too...I couldn't even look at a TV without having to close my eyes. I don't think I got it from benzos but developed when on high dose lyrica for a couple of years. It's brutal and hard to tell where its coming from. Mine improved a bit after 6 months and then I took a rescue dose of lyrica and it came roaring back so I know it's from psych med damage. All these pills are poison.

[or...] Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I have this dry eye problem, too. My ophthalmologist suggested eye drops. I use Systane Balance. It lubricates your eyes so that you can go several hours without using the drops again. Very soothing and helpful. Especially for those of us who do a lot of computer work. Hope this helps, Katz.
