Possible Concerta Side Effects

by Kailur, Jan 28, 2009 06:53PM
Hi, I'm new here, and my question is a little complicated. So here's the short version: I'm on Concerta 36mg 1x per day. I also take Prozac 20mg 1x per day and Abilify 20mg 1x per day. I also take cafine pills (usually 200mg pills, two at a time) when I feel tired. My eyes are feeling a little achy, as if I'm crossing my eyes but I'm not. My vision is also a little blurred as I look at the computer screen. Back in November, while I was on a different combination of drugs, (including the stimulant Vyvanse) I had this feeling in my eyes for a couple of weeks and it bothered me to the point of seeing an eye doctor, who told me that my eyes are healthy. After a while of my eyes hurting, I began to have facial tics and was also making sounds (vocalizations) that I was not meaning to make. After stopping the Vyvanse and another drug, the eye pain and tics went away. Now I'm on the Concerta and I'm concerned that the return of the feeling in my eyes could be leading up to another episode of tics. Am I just being paranoid about this or should I contact my psychiatric nurse practitioner?
