For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I have had a horrendous time on this medication. Depression, chronic really dark thoughts, and nightmares that the devil would be scared of, and breathing problems. My surgeon, who operated on my eyes and later diagnosed me with glaucoma, said some bizarre side effects can happen, so he was willing to risk surgery on both my eyes but then retired. My new doctor said it's all in my mind. Here are some tips: close your eyes after you administer, don't open for approx 5 mins, push a finger against your tear duct to stop the Lumigan from draining and having a systemic effect. I have tried all the meds, this is the best of a bad bunch for me. I am coping better than I was. I take it at 6:30 p.m., not before bed due to satanic nightmares and no sleep."

For Intraocular Hypertension "My side effects are depression, anxiety, pains in neck and shoulders, general aches and pains, headaches, and nausea on waking. I did not put any of these symptoms down to the eye drops until very recently, and looking back, they all started not long after starting the drops. I feel terrible and will have to change to an alternative ASAP."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "My experience with this was awful, shortness of breath. Itchy, dry eyes. I was getting panic attacks and was super depressed. My arms tingled and felt heavy. Super nauseated. Headaches and stiff neck. The worst medicine ever. Long lashes are not worth feeling so horrible."
