hmmm. I had a sharp, extreme pain behind my eye off/on for years while taking effexor, then milder w/other meds. I had an MRI too, showed nothing. that was years ago. I'm going to call my neurophthamologist I used to see for that and get checked anyway. I want to ask him about prolactin too.
I'm glad you told me that. I was diagnosed with occular migranes from a retina specialist I saw for the same problem, but i didn't believe him. There was no physical evidence, I just think sometimes they give diagnosis in their specialties rather than saying they don't know. But I'm just being overly skeptical i guess. He was a character, real arrogant, not the type of doctor i like to deal with. lol
But the norepinephrine from effexor causing muscular reaction makes more sense to me than occular migranes. Hey, I had swollen joints from effexor and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia; quit taking the effexor and it disappeared. I don't understand why doctors don't connect these ADs with our physical symptoms, rather than make diagnoses that reflect the lowest common denominator.
The neurophthamologist i used to for that see is phenominal though, so i'll see what he says. It takes 3 months to get an appt. with him.
