Loteprednol ophthalmic "I went to my doctor for general eye irritation and most likely an incorrect fitting of my current contacts, which is causing eye irritation. I was prescribed Lotemax, 1 drop in each eye, 4 x day. Obviously, Lotemax is a steroid. I have no history of anxiety or mental illness. After the first day, I noticed I was having weird thoughts that I couldn't get out of my head. In the days that followed, I started to have severe anxiety with full-blown panic attacks. I was scared to be around my husband, and my children worried that I might cause them harm or them harming themselves, or somehow being subjected to harm... my worst fear. I was manic with worry and paranoia and cried repeatedly. I stopped the meds, and the symptoms started to disappear."

Loteprednol ophthalmic "Works very well to treat dry eyes. The out-of-pocket (and list) price for 5 ml, 0.5% is outrageous: $95/240. In Canada, you get a list price for that same medicine (Lotemax 0.5%) of $109 for 15 ml (1/6th)! Who's pocketing the difference?"

"Loteprednol is working to bring down the inflammation in my eye (Iritis). However, I'm having side effects from it. I have GERD and the GERD got worse as soon as I started the Loteprednol. Now I have sores in my mouth caused by the acid in my stomach. I still have to take the drops for another month. Not a good experience."

Loteprednol ophthalmic "I am thankful for the prescription from my doctor. I thought I simply had allergies, but she diagnosed my problem and gave careful instructions for the use. The itching, watering, and deep pain were relieved after my use. I had no side effects. I was able to apply the drops myself."
