Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Glaucoma / November 2005Zoloft and High IOP
Is zoloft bad to take if you already have an IOP of 20 in each eye? I need something for stress as I am also having heart issues and i took one pill yesterday to start off the cycle and this morning my head feels weird and my eyes too..I did tell my doctor about my eye issue but he said it would be ok to take this drug. Is he right? 20 is considered to be within the normal range of IOP. However, it is still possible to suffer glaucomatose damage for those with normal tension glaucoma. I have no knowledge of zoloft, but a search in Rxlist showing the possible side effects of the drug is in the link below: http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/sertral_ad.htm (Look under Special Senses for the side effects on eyes and ears). Hope this helps. Sun Chong Hong (a glaucoma patient) Yes I see its in there as a very rare side effect but that same side effect is listed in paxil as well and my doctor said both medicines are safe to take and will not rise IOP.Thx for your reply. > 20 is considered to be within the normal range of IOP.
