Visual Disturbances and clomid

Hi everyone,

I just got out of bed to take some Tylenol because I'm sick and am having body aches. As soon as I turned on the bathroom light, I had some crazy visual disturbances going on. It was kind like streaky flashing lights on both sides of my field of vision-really weird. I know visual disturbances can be a side effect of clomid, but have any of you had any? This is my 3rd CC and I moved up to 150mg this time. I've never had this happen before and it kind of freaked me out. Thanks for your help!

Jen

Hi Jen,

I think you should call and let your doctor know. I have read that visual disturbances on Clomid can happen, and if so, you need to tell your doctor...You may need a lower dose. I also read that it is more common on the higher doses, like you are taking.

Let us know what happens.

Oh...and sorry your aren't feeling well in general! Hope you get to feeling better! :)

Take care,

Anne
