Bulldog, how long did your eye pain last after you stopped Emsam? I intend to write an adverse drug report to the FDA and I hope you do too. I thought it was getting a little better and then yesterday it seemed worse again and I literally spent the entire afternoon (1230 to 6) by the phone, 1st trying to get through to the opth. consulting nurse at my HMO, then waiting for a call from His Royal Highness the eye doctor himself, finally at 6pm I gave up and left, when I got back there was an absurd message from his assistant saying they were sorry the eye dryness was still a problem, they made it sound like nothing, I had told them it wasn't just dryness, it was PAIN, anyway she suggested a different eye drop to use, and said if that didn't help I could have surgery on my tear ducts!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No thanks. It is feeling somewhat better today, knock on wood and and I was able to get an opthalmologist at the Urgent Clinic to examine my eyes, he prescribed an expensive ointment and said he couldn't see any eye damage, my big fear, anxiety definitely makes pain worse. Anyway, hope your eyes are doing ok. Cecilia
