Has anyone ever experienced visual disturbances on a TCA? I don't mean just blurred vision ... I'll see something move out of the corner of my eye, but then when I look directly at it, it isn't moving. This just started happening when my Desipramine was upped from 75 to 100 mgs, so I think it's probably related. If it's happened to you, does it go away/lessen with time?

I am only on 33 mg. of doxepin right now but I sometimes feel something strange like that out of my left eye. It's almost like there's a cloud or a blur there at the very corner or edge of my sight range. I may have something else wrong though because I've recently started experiencing floaters. I'd sure prefer to think it's the doxepin.K

I've just started nortriptyline and I have definitely noticed my vision is worse. Normally I don't need my glasses when at the computer but in the last week, I've had to start wearing them. This happened to me when stopping Effexor also. I haven't had any experiences like you described, though.
