APRACLONIDINE vs GUANFACINE

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

Having ADHD fucking sucks. It’s not quirky, fun, or something that needs to become an entire personality. I’ve seen so many TikTok accounts that are all just “here’s 5 reasons you have ADHD” and then they base everything they discuss as mundane nonsense that doesn’t even pertain to ADHD. “You migh

Let me tell you a story. I’m a dad with ADHD, my oldest son has ADHD inattentive type, the middle son has ADHD hyperactive type, the baby is a baby, but we already have a sense she’s got something going on already. In the mornings, I serve up morning meds for everyone. A vyvanse for dad, fluoxetine

My son is profoundly autistic and very minimally speaking with a host of comorbidities, including ADHD combined type. We tried several stimulant formulations. He couldn't sleep. He became aggressive. He has used clonidine + guanfacine before bed to sleep. Today he started his second dose of clonidi

Decided three years ago to pursue a PhD in a discipline I love after finally took my ADHD seriously. Pursuing a doctorate was something I just didn't think I could do because of how my brain handles unstructured tasks (like writing a dissertation). Turns out with the right drugs (guanfacine + wellbu

I haven’t been able to sit down and read literally just a CHAPTER of a book in like 6 years. I crave just…. Sitting down and focusing on one task. Reading a book. Doing a puzzle. Cleaning my room. For reference I am diagnosed with adhd-c and on Sertraline and Guanfacine. I been on both for like?

I can’t believe nobody has ever recommended this drug to me before. I always struggled with stimulants as there would be days where I would have breakdowns or hyper focus on the wrong thing, couldn’t sleep.. etc. I’ve been taking guanfacine and bupropion for about a month and I REALLY NOTICE a diffe

Maybe it’s just me but I’ve gone through a gauntlet of medications (Adderall, Focalin XR, Ritalin, Metadate, Vyvanse, Dexedrine, Concerta, Wellbutrin, Strattera, Guanfacine) and each time I’ve ended up disappointed in them. At best, they give me a bit of energy/wakefulness and make it slightly easie

This is really long. I’m tired and frustrated, sorry. So I just got off my 11p-7a in the emergency department. We have this one doc, LC, who I’m pretty sure is out to get me. Does this sound dramatic? Yes. Do I actually think it’s true? I’ve been trying to convince myself I’m crazy, but I actually
