vision problems ? med related???

HELP!!! I am taking Lexapro 10mg's & Tofranil 25mg's & Klonopin 0.5mg's 1/2 tab 2x/day for GAD & depression--------I have CONSTANT floaters & cob webs in my eyes that are making my vision so messed up I just cant stand it anymore. I thought it was the Tofranil, but stopped this for 2wks & although this did subside, it was still present. Has gotten a LOT worse since I restarted the Tofranil. CAM, or ANYBODY, do you have any advice as to why this is happening, & how can I get it to stop.

I don't know how to fix it, but I can attest that after an increased dosage of Lexapro, my vision got blurry.

H224 - I would still say that the Tofranil™ (imipramine) is the main culpert due to it's antimuscarinic effects. Lexapro™ (escitalopram) can cause focusing problems and Klonopin™ (clonazepam - Rivotril™) can cause blurred vision, as well a double vision.

Antimuscarinic (anticholinergic) effects include a drying of moist tissues, causing problems related to nearsightedness. This may be the main reason you are seeing the floaters (which are just pieces of old arteries and veins that the eye is constantly sloughing off). The decrease in lubrication may mean that these naturally occuring pieces are not washing away as readily as they should. Perhaps an eye moisturizer such as Tears Naturale™ or Tears Plus™ or some other kind of lubricant for dry eyes may help. Forgive me if you are not able to get the brands that I mention, I am Canadian and we have different names for products. Avoid Visine™-like (gets-the-red-out) products, as these are vasoconstrictors and can cause more problems over the long term. Just ask the pharmacist for an ophthalmic lubricant. In Canada, the better lubricants run in the $12 to $18 range, but they are worth it. The cheaper ones do not seem to have as much "slip" and do not last as long on the eyes. In most cases, gels are good, but since you want to get rid of the floaters, I think that the liquid lubricants will wash these away more effectively.

Outside of that, you may need to consult an ophthamologist/optometrist, they would probably be able to give you better advise. - Cam
