Just wondering how many people have had the side effect of "visual disturbances" while taking clomid? Is it rare or common? Please can anyone share their experience, It's hard to know based on the information provided by the pharmaecutical company.
hi i have been on clomid for 5 months now and have just been taken off this drug, as i have had very nasty visual disturbances. for the last 3 weeks i have been in what i call non reality. my eyes are seeing everything 100% magnifyed as if i am looking through a magnifying glass. my vision is so distorted that everything looks like a 3d picture as if everthing is jumping out at me. its really scary. my vision is like being in a round goldfish bowl. its evil. by evening my eyes have a white sheet like a net curtain in front of them i can hardly see. what makes this worse is that my eyes will not work with my brain. its like all feelings and emotions have completely gone, im so numb. ifeel like a vegetable thats just functioning for my kids. how the heck i get my kids to school i dont know, luckily i dont drive but walking is a nightmare. i have even lost feelings of pain, my mind cant register it. the other day i was holding onto the baking tray that i had just taken out of the oven, i had hold of it for at least 20 secs i looked down and i realised that i had no oven glove on and i couldnt feel any pain. my gyne has taken me off clomid and said that i will have to suffer with this untill my next cycle, where i should feel alot better.i can hardly function and the visual disturbances seem to worsen . i find this really scary living in this non reality and i have to come back soon as i cannot keep being like this. my next step is ivf which i cannot do untill i feel like myself again. i feel that i am going to be like this forever and that its never going to go away. i think consultants should tell there patients what effects could be caused by these drugs. if i had known i would not have taken them. i suffered a misscarriage due to polycystic ovaries recently and this has taken a toll on me. having survived this i felt that i could go on with life showing my love to my 2 beautifull girls. now i feel terrible and want to be back. please let the visual disturbances go as i cannot cope with them, they are sending me mad.shaz.
