...so true! And many medical conditions probably have been started by medications for other illnesses in many cases... but as you say its a tough one.. weighing the pros and cons of helping one condition only to create another. But I wish patients were given the choice. I too was told by glaucoma specialist not to take meds that increased eye pressure and psychiatrist insisted could take it... was adamant. And a person at the clinic for elderly, a woman, told me: it's better to have better mental health and lose some vision, the library has talking books! I will never forget that statement which was also repeated by an emerge dept. doctor, who was very nice, but said the same thing. I chose vision over mental health and my life is not that happy but at least I can see my family's faces and read my ipad and see the flowers outside..... 🌷🌷🌷my choice, cant have everything!

Arghh! Don't you hate when they say things like that? I am tolerating tremors because the risks of the anti-tremor med are not tolerable to me. And I agree about preserving eyesight - so much relies on it - I am absolutely vigilant about my glaucoma meds and appointments.
