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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
