Feel like I’ve tried all I can

This lingering mental fog/vision issue 24/7 I can never turn it off!!! I just am so frustrated it’s been almost a year this vision thing has not gone away. I feel like I’m in a dream most of the time and can’t even explain it to my peers. It’s like I can see but I can at the same time. Dreamlike as well as some objects with several lines and crazy patterns cause for blurry ness. Have not felt normal in a year. The anxiety I can manage somewhat but this 24/7 vision crap really really really is giving me problems. I’m literally at times getting suicidal over my vision symptoms it’s that bad. And no blood test or eye doctor sees anything wrong! A little over a week on CBD now and off antidepressants so praying this somehow fixes me. So lost and so angry at this point.

I can understand where you are coming from on this. I had blurry visions as well during the process of being put on and taken off medications. What you are going through from what I went through may be because you are being taken off medication and being put on new medication before the medication you were taken off of is out of your system. Multiple meds in your system may be the cause. Hope you get better.

I really hope so! I actually got vision problems after taking Prozac then stopped taking it for 2 months and got on Paxil for 7 months and no I’m off Paxil as of 2 weeks ago and I’m CBD. I really don’t know how long SSRI’s stay in you system. And that 2 months period I had vision issues still which led me to go back on meds (Paxil) but it has yet to go away. I feel my body isn’t adjusted to no meds yet. 3 months maybe Idk 🤷🏻‍♂️

One medication which I was on and took some time to entirely get out of my system was Zoloft. I did have blurry visions often when on that drug. During this time my body felt the same way. It takes time to adjust. If it gets to be to much, do contact your doctor. They may have to lower the dose so your body can adjust to it.

I hope this is due to the medication and it being in my system all this time. My guess is I’ll have to wait it out and let the medication get out fully. I heard it takes up to 90 days

Hi I have the vision problem when I am highly stressed or anxious and it’s especially bad for me driving in the dark. Summer is less of a stress, I’ve had this on and off for almost 2 years, my sister had a cancer diagnosis which sent me over the edge and that’s when it started. I have it at the moment along with a really jumpy heart and feeling of being spaced out. I have been on sertraline (Zoloft)twice in this time and it didn’t make it better or worse. Currently taking a herbal remedy as did not like the side effects of sertraline. Good luck with getting over it, you are not alone, if I figure out how to get over it I will let you know!!
