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 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."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "After about 6 months on Lumigan, I started experiencing problems breathing, gasping at night in bed for air, wheezing, shortness of breath, upper respiratory infections. Stopped taking Lumigan! Did not decrease eye pressure. Then I read that 20% of people taking drops for glaucoma go blind anyway - then you see one of its side effects is blindness... how do they get these drugs approved!"
