> I also have the dilated pupils on Cymbalta and now blurry vision as well and I`ve only just (after 3 weeks) gotten up to 20 mg. It`s very scary. I hate this drug. Is it really just an expensive new tricyclic?-it seems to have the same side effects. The sweating and hot flashes and anxiety are bad enough, but vision problems really freak me out. I just hate to give up on it so soon-there`s nothing else left to try. Cecilia
I know what you mean.. I had to reduce the dosage because it was too agitating for me, now I only get a light nausea, but the blurry vision is persisting (it's worse a few hours after dosing though). The positive benefits seem to be sticking though despite all that. My eye doctor didn't seem that concerned-they offered to change my prescription for my glasses! If it's any help I've gotten blurry vision from several meds, I think it is a relatively common side effect. I must admit that desipramine and Trileptal caused worse vision probs than this did.
