Has anyone here experienced noticeable, long term visual disturbances while on or after taking ssri's. I would be more specific, but I'm trying to keep this question very open. I will tell you my experience. I have been on SSRI's(all of them) on and off since I was 14. At this point in time I have this constant visual disturbance where I see what I can only describe as these little shooting stars, only with no light involved. Its like I see something dart by really quick, like a movement in my visual field. I wonder if this could be realated to the SSRI's? The opthamologist I went to did not have an explanation.
Others have said they are floaters, or white blood cells rushing through my eye that for some reason I am seeing projected onto my visual feild. I am also incredibly nearsighted and sometimes see these little blue "stars" fade in and out of my vision. I have also used marijuana from time to time throughout my teenage years, but haven't done that for a year now. (I am 23). I also did LSD 2 times when I was 16-17. Any thoughts? Thank you.
