I noticed vision blurriness as soon as two years into taking Abilify. It diminished when I took adderall and my vision returned. I’m wearing glasses unnecessarily, I think that’s why the eye doctor flipped out at me and acted like I was faking the test. I know instinctively that I shouldn’t need them, yet have no idea of how to approach this. Im lost.
Dont be lost. Why can’t you just go to your gp , explain your problems with your eyes. Paraphrase you eye specialist , and get a full blood work done
I would Fire this psychiatrist and tell them why. I hope you have a choice of others because I stood up for my right and was happy to be rid of someone that treated people like that.
I know how you feel, I’m on abilify right now, its made me lazy, dull and less social. I have taken every anti-physcotic, anti-depression meds out there in the past 10 years, and the drugs, are dulling my mind, it hard to concentrate and messing with my vision as well. 4 years ago I slowly weened myself off my meds except adderall and started smoking and/or ingesting weed daily or 2. I no longer had nightmares and/or episodes, fog in my mind went away, I was more social, less depressed/stressed and i was actually able to go back to school and finish my degree, I was happy, my life was good, i had job a girl, the works, the first time in my diagnosed life that felt somewhat normal (though i know i never will be). My family found out i wasn’t taking my meds after about a 1 1/2 years they were strongly against it and intervened and put me in rehab, put me in a physc and was forced to go back on to anti-physcotics, depressants etc etc… since then, I haven’t been able to hold a job, i feel unmotivated to do anything myself, unless my friends force me out of the house, the mental fog, vision, everything is coming back, although i moved out bought a house, became a more independent, i feel like i need to get off my meds, it feels like there killing me slowly…
