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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
