Hello,

I have had some issues with a couple of SSRIs I've taken recently - namely blurred vision. I was on sertraline (25mg) for 4.5 weeks - the blurred vision didn't improve at all over this period, and was interacting with my studies/day to day life, so I discontinued it.

I then started taking 5mg of citalopram straight after discontinuing sertaline, and have continued taking this for the past 7 weeks. I started off low with plans to increase to 10mg gradually, as I'm sensitive to SSRIs. However, around the 3-4 weeks mark, my vision started becoming blurry again. While this has not been to the same extent as with the sertraline, its quite annoying, and doesn't seem to show any signs of abating. I've remained at 5mg - which has had positive effects on anxiety and my mood, though I suspect I'll have to increase to 10 for it to be noticeable.

I was wondering what caused this blurry vision, and how long it will take for it to disappear - if it does disappear. Incidentally, I didn't have this issue when I was on 10mg prozac - I had to stop taking this though as it was doing nothing for my anxiety, only depression, and had other issues associated with it like sexual dysfunction.

Thanks everyone
