I had SLT (selective laser trabeculoplasty) for NTG (normal-tension glaucoma) today, and I thought I'd share my experience since a lot of people seem to be nervous about this procedure. Although I did experience some discomfort, it was mild and tolerable. I arrived at 9:30 AM and spent about two hou
What are folks’ experiences with Cephaly? I am quite hesitant to do Botox again, despite helping with my migraines, as my ptosis has not responded at all to apraclonidine. Being effectively blind in one eye is affecting my ability to work and function. I have run through almost all if not all of th
Everyone who uses Upneeq for ptosis/blepharoptosis, or drooping eyelids, complains about its high cost. I am told that generic apraclonidine eye drops, which are officially approved for glaucoma or post-surgery eye pressure, also stimulate the contraction of the eyelid muscle and can raise it for ab
Hi there! Hoping for some help in making a decision regarding my infant daughter who has been diagnosed with anisocoria. It was noticed by her pediatrician during her six month vaccines, and we were referred to a pediatric ophthalmologist. The doc confirmed the pupil sizes are different; the right o
This post is long, but I was trying to be as detailed as possible. I posted over in eyetriage, but thought it might be a good idea to post over here too since there are more medical professionals. I'm a 36-year-old male that recently started experiencing a drooping left eyelid, a smaller pupil in my
Female 21. Sertraline/zoloft 150mg. How reliable is testing for Horner’s syndrome with apraclonidine drops while you are on sertraline/zoloft? I got tested for it by a neuro-ophthalmologist and he didn’t mention anything about the medicine I’m on affecting the results. But an ophthalmologist I saw p

For the first time in years I sat down, sorted through and cleared out all the old unread emails in my inbox. It took me about 2 hours and it felt great. Sorting through things that I know I should do but will leave for another time has always been a big problem for me so it was great to do that and
They snooped through my bag while I was visiting and found my atomoxetine. They obviously googled what it was. They think I’m just a lazy and irresponsible person and I should just stop and be a normal person and stop taking “unhealthy western meds” (I’m Asian). Honestly I don’t have the energy to e
* Since graduating 2.5 years ago, I’ve had 4 jobs as a frontend developer. * Every single time I’ve been fired, it’s the same reasons: delays, missed attention to detail, work needing multiple QA passes before it’s acceptable. * I joined my current company in December. In January, I started medicati
Phone call with a doctor a couple weeks ago. Literally broke down. "Sorry, we can't even consider the depression talk because you're on Atomoxetine." I cave in and ring my specialist, she has a history of shrugging me off but she actually walked me through the depression checklist, I show up as depr
I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. Doc gives me atomoxetine great. I can think before speaking. It's wild there's this pause before I blurt out what I'm about to angrily say. Eye contact feels less intense. There's no constant monitoring of yourself in environments. There's no constant thought cyc
I’m an Asian woman about to turn 30, recently diagnosed with ADHD. Growing up, I was called “lazy” and “irresponsible” because I was always late and procrastinated. My parents don’t believe in ADHD—they think I just lack discipline. Right now, I’m living with them, working part-time, and barely have
Yesterday my psychiatrist prescribed me a new medication for my ADHD, Atomoxetine. He told me it was hard to find, so I started my pharmacy run to see if I could find it. I managed to find a pharmacy that ordered it for me. After I payed for it the pharmacist commented that he had never heard of thi
I started strattera last Friday. It caused me to have intense dreams, except when I woke up I was stuck in the same state. It started two days ago, I woke up dizzy and confused. I accidentally ended up scraping my car on a large curb, but I believed it was from a lack of sleep. Yesterday, I felt ext
