I had been taking effexor (up to 225 mgs) and began having periods of double vision, which became constant within 1-2 weeks. Dr. switched me to cymbalta. After 4-5 weeks, the double vision remains and the opthamologist has prescribed glasses withb prisms in both eyes. Is this side effect a result of effexor and cymbalta? Can there be optical nerve damage? Thanks, gramarge

I am not sure what medication could’ve caused your blurred vision because both Cymbalta and Effexor have a possibility of side effects that can cause damage to your vision. Is there a way that you talk to your doctor about changing both of these medications, because they are causing you too much trouble? I am not sure is this condition permanent and will you have to wear the glasses all the time or this just might be short term condition.
Have you tried to lower the dose of the medication? Your doctor has to find you another solution because this is not really helping you. Maybe you could try with some herbal solutions to replace the medication.
Good luck

i found several articles that support vision changes with antidepressants both SSRIS (prozac) as well as effexor and cymbalta. MY VISION went from 20./25 to 20.70! in my left eye. i've only been off the effexor a week and no improvement. The left pupil is quite dilated as well. I'm seeing an eye doc who doesn't have a clue what is going on.
