Painful eyes?

Hi, I suffer from panic attacks and was prescribed citalopram. A couple of weeks after taking it i have been getting pains in my eyes and my sight is slightly blurred. Anyone had similar symptoms taking the medication? Thanks.
Answer:
I think that's common with certain meds... In chinese medicine sore eyes, blurred vision are liver symptoms, and any medication puts a little extra pressure on your liver. If you're worried talk to your doctor.
Not on the same medication but same symptoms, eyes stiging and blurred vision. Gets better after a while.
Wow, I don't know if that is normal with that medication. You should call the doctor who prescribed it or the pharmacists you got it from and tell them. They should be able to tell you more.
Hey if it is that bad call your doctor that prescribed the medicine. Ask him if this is normal. Read the details that came with the medicine and see if that is one of the normal side effects. If it is one of the rare side effects your doctor really needs to know what it is doing to you so you don't have long term damage.
