| 1 | For recurring corneal abrasions | On day 7 or 8 I started to notice side effects. At first it was very mild; headache (which I rarely get), dizziness, heart palpitations, dry mouth, and stiff neck. By day 12, I knew I was in serious trouble but I still did not know what was causing my problems. I started to get tremors, then insomnia and anxiety, and easily exhausted. I started to trace it back and tried eliminating some foods from my diet. It only became worse by the day. By day 14 it dawned on me that the problem was these drops. I found this website and that put me into full panic mode! I dont understand why there arent warnings on this eye drop. This should be black boxed!!! Im currently on day 5 of stopping them and it seems like there is little to no improvement. I took my blood pressure and its through the ceiling. The heart palpitations are unbelievable. This is a nightmare! I would love to hear from anyone else as to how long it took for their symptoms to return to normal after stopping it. Please contact me. | I can see a class action lawsuit on the near horizon for this eye drop. | M | 51 | 14 days 2X D | 8/17/2022 | |
| 1 | For recurring corneal abrasions | I'm no longer taking this medication. | M | 53 | 2X D | 5/6/2024 | ||
