side effects

[IncognitoC]

Anyone that is taking Sertraline 50mg I keep seeing light flashes in my peripheral vision. Like little LED lights. Not all the time just every once in a while.

Does anyone else get this?

Not expert advice but I’d get an eye exam to rule out glaucoma

Thank you for your reply

I have just had a look at Glaucoma online and it seems like I have a couple of the different effects of the condition. I am definitely going to get it checked out.

[theprodigalson in reply to IncognitoC]

Good. I decided not to take setraline due to a family history of glaucoma

[IncognitoC in reply to theprodigalson]

I know this will sound weird but who would I need to talk to about this?

[theprodigalson in reply to IncognitoC]

I’d get the eye exam done first. If it’s an issue then go back to the Dr who prescribed setraline to discuss alternatives

hi I take sertraline and have anxiety etc I also had flashing lights and was told it was some sort of migraine

[Hidden in reply to Positiveannie]

It is called optical migraine. Comes with stress. I take Xanax when it happens, takes 10 minutes and disappears.

[IncognitoC in reply to Hidden]

I will just have to get it checked out as soon as possible
