I would very much advise to see your doctor about blurry vision as vision impairment can be very serious say if you are a driver. It could be just that the meds is making you very tired, but it's best to be checked over.

Hi:

Effexor can mess with the eyes. They actually state this on their website. I have been on this med for a long time and have noticed later in the day I need to blink constantly to keep my vision in focus. I would keep track of when and for how long this happens to you and report it to your doctor.

take care

HI~
I too have been having problems with my vision since being on the effexor and have mentioned it to my Dr.. Have been on the med since June 11th and am waiting to meet with a psychiatrist to tweak my meds (effexor and alprazolam). Have had the vison problems even before the meds but it's worse since being on this along with some other side effects. I like you hate to start all over on new medication and new/more side effects.

I go to my eye dr. faithfully and he told me that so many drugs can effect your vision..statins is a big one.

Take care and keep us posted.
