[sandieganjake]

So I started getting worse panic attacks on zoloft a 2 months after starting so im weaning off per dr. Anyways this past week when I look around at the sky or walls dark objects I get visual snow. Also ive noticed my eyes are dry and lights seem really bright. Anyone else get this? Does it go away?

Hi there I get visual disturbances but you do not say how old u r and mine is the gel shrinkage on my eye which is common from about 50. I also get ocular migraines which r blind spot and zig zag lines lasting about 15 to 20 minutes this ocular thing is stress related. Been off And on since I was 19 And I am 68 now

Im 30. And mine just started this past week after going down dosage of zoloft. If I look at the blue skies it looks all pixelated same in the dark. Yet lookng at my phone etc is perfect. No visual disturbances. Also my eyes seem to be light sensitive.

Hi... .Yes I got the same side effects ....I was on 100mg of Zoloft for almost a year.. It was too much of a dose for me..I ended up with Tinnitus ( ringing in the ears) If you can, talk to your GP about trying something else.. If your experiencing panic attacks while your on an AD there not the right AD`s for you... ok good luck Hope you get to feel better soon....steve

Good... you may have to try something else....I`m taking Paxil 10mg`s starting today..(paroxetine)..I`ll let you know if they work for me.... My brain chemistry will be different from yours..of coarse ...You do sound a little better for knowing that others have this problem....keep posting... steve
