Started taking an accelerated dose of Bentyl about four or five weeks ago. From my 10 mg capsule taken as needed, to up to as many as 4 20 mg tablets a day, every day. Well, I started with two; one in the AM and one at bedtime. Instant dizziness and nausea, so I backed down to one at bedtime. That seemed to work.
Then, about three weeks ago the double vision started. It came to me while taking the morning chemicals that on the side of the suspect med bottle it said, "CAUTION - MAY CAUSE BLURRED VISION" SO, I stopped taking it and called the doctor. doctor's nurse called back and said "Oh no. The meds have nothing to do with your vision problem." Hmmm. "Double vision ans blurred vision are two different things". So there.
A funny thing happened on the way to the shop the next day. I could see better. And even better today. Small increments, but by Monday, I'm expecting even better, if not a full return to normal. But for now, I'll just wait and pray that it continues to rock and roll.
