Blurred vision seems to be the major side effect for flupenthixol, at least for me. My consultant assures me that it’s normal, and is caused by the drug affecting the muscles which control the lens. Hopefully it will improve as I get used to the drug. If not, we’re going to try a reduced dose, as it should be possible to achieve full action with few side effects.
On the plus side, it’s actually working. I’d lost all hope of ever feeling better, but it’s kicked in quickly like it claims, and I’m feeling ok, even if not “normal” yet. Not sure if that’ll ever happen, but flupenthixol is my friend, at least for the moment.
