For Intraocular Hypertension "I have been on latanaprost for just over a week. I'm experiencing anxiety, lack of focus, mild palpitations and some kind of dizziness. I have trouble focusing and have been feeling fatigued throughout all this time. My doctor says to use it for an other week and then stop a week before I visit him again. This way he reckons, he'll be able to tell whether or not to take me off it completely or change the drop."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I had ocular hypertension six months ago, 16 left eye and 18 right eye. I used it for two weeks as a trial and both went down to 14. Have used it six months now. My eyes stay very dry and red and irritated, and feels like something is in my right eye all the time. I've gotten super sensitive to sunlight and tv light. Went to dr. yesterday, now pressure is 18 and 21. It has increased my eye pressure plus my eyes often have white globs of gunk when I wake up. The doctor ignored any and all of my concerns with this xelpros,( latanoprost) now wants me to have laser surgery. I'm trying to find another doctor for a second opinion. The last three months of meds are made overseas. I am extremely frustrated with both the doctor who explains nothing, just throws pamphlets in my lap when I ask something. Unfortunately, due to Covid, appointments are made months in advance, and I am concerned about waiting several months to see another doctor. She refuses to offer anything else."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "My eye pressures had been gradually rising in my senior years and reached 21-21 by age 70. My eye doctor decided to put me on latanoprost and the results after 30 straight nights of taking drops were amazing. My pressures dropped to 13-12 with no side effects whatsoever. I'll have no problem taking these drops for the rest of my life to avoid potential optic nerve damage."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "In the 3 months taking Latanoprost I had 2 episodes of sleep paralysis. Most people will not experience this horror in their lifetime. You cannot wake up from sleep and fully aware that you can't. Has anyone else had this? Thankfully it doesn't last more than a minute or two but it's a horrible feeling. Plus two very terrible nightmares. Feeling better having stopped the drug. Will look into laser treatment."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "Initially my doctor had me use drops every other day, but the pressure did not go down enough. So I told to put drops in every night about an hour before bedtime. That is when things got worse. 1-Chronic nightly insomnia, jolting awake with a pounding heart every few hours when I was able to sleep. 2-Red eye irritation so much I had to use drops to relieve the irritation. I am not on any other meds. 3-Latanoprost is considered a generic. I had to stop drops a couple of days just to get a full night’s sleep. 4-My doctor is planning to go back to Zioptan which is not generic or another eye med instead. Be careful with this medication. Tell your doctor right away if there is a problem."
