Blurry vision
Hi,
A few weeks ago my doc started me on Concerta: The first week I was to take 18mg, the next week 36mg, etc... During the first week, I didn't feel a whole lot on 18 mg, but it did sort of help my sleepiness. On the 3rd day of the 2nd week, I felt palpitations that lasted an hour or so, and the next day they lasted a few hours. I believe the palpitations are related to my anxiety, since in both times they started during class, and I do have palpitations sometimes, but they usually last a couple of seconds -- not hours. I measured my BP, and it was higher than normal (around 139/75). So I talked to my doc, and I decided to stop taking the pills over the weekend. But a strange thing happened: when I got back to school, I started noticing that objects that are farther away have become out of focus (a bit blurry), and that I needed to make an effort in order to focus in on them. I remembered that when I was on the pill, I felt "weird" about my field of vision... something I couldn't really describe. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Is it possible that Concerta permanently damage my eyesight? |

Re: Blurry vision
My vision is back to normal now! I think I needed to wait a few days until the pill's effects on me were completely gone.
