Hi - Quick question - has anyone experienced blurred vision while on Elavil (10mg) and Urelle (4x daily)? My vision is OK up close but it's hard to focus and is blurry a ways away.

I talked to a well-informed nurse of my uro and left a message with my other urologist, and the nurse advised me to stop the meds for a few days and see if it improved before proceeding, bc those were side effects associated with them. I feel like I've had slight blurriness before I even started them (maybe I needed glasses?) but that it's gotten much worse the past few days. I've been on those medications for about a month. I added in vesicare two times but that made me dizzy and made the blurriness worse, I think, so I don't take it anymore.

I have a detailed eye exam with an opthomologist on Tuesday afternoon to rule out eye stuff.

The reason why I'm concerned is the whole link between bladder and MS. I had the full work-up two years ago and was fine/clear, but always in the back of my mind I think there might be some link. But I guess I will wait and see if the med cutting back and vision check don't help.

I can't answer your question but I am glad that you are talking to your urologist about it and getting an eye exam next week. It is important that your Dr.s know about how you are reacting to medications.
