Prochlorperazine & Visual distriburance



Recommended Posts

Prochlorperazine is the antinausea that I was given to take after surgery. Oh my goodness! I will never take this medication again. My vision is starting to return to normal, but as I took it my vision was so off!! My glasses would not help me, I could not see my iphone to operate it or text, i wasnt able to watch the tv either. It was a bummer to feel crumby from surgery and then have to lose my vision. It was determined by the pharmcy that this is a possible side affect. blah!! beware.. Hopefully this wont happen to you!

Best,

Sannah

Hi Sannah,

How long after you took the med did you experience the vision loss? And how after you took the med did you begin to notice the vision problem.

Glad you're better! wow....

Same exact thing happened to me. I was sleeved on Nov 12 and was extremely nauseous. I was on multiple nausea meds, including the patch. I never turned the tv on or used my iPhone in the hospital so I never noticed the vision loss... Then I got home and about day 6 I attempted a text and panicked because the phone was a total blur. My surgeon said to remove the patch and it will go back to normal. I removed the patch, it left a scab! It was a very potent little tiny patch. About 2 -3 days after, it was back to normal. Phew!!

Hello,

I was in this med four 24 hours a day and a half later my vision is nearing normal. I can see pretty good to type this message. Previously I couldn't use my iPhone or pad at all. I also couldn't see myself in the mirror. My spects are starting to help again!! Feels good to see again!!!

Have you had surgery yet?

Best,

Sannah

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
