My eyes burn with hope

[Blown bulb]

Hey everyone "WELL HEY"
got in a big bang car accident, woke to head injury tremors, night blindness, raging ass fear, doc had me on ssri's, Oxycontin and 6 mgs zanax a day.
as I got better this crap made me nuts, I tapered with serenity resolutions tea, slowly, ssri's were some real bad stuff, shut down sex organs.
PROBLEM I still am real darn sensitive to light, I mean big way, doc says it may pass but it ain't! anyone got any ideas that help

All I can suggest are dark, dark shades.

I am autistic, and have some, but not too severe photosensitivity at times, I usually wear shades outside and during the day, inside too.

Dark, reflective ones are good, my housemate is autie too, but displays the phenotype in a more pronounced way than I (I refuse to use the term 'severely', it makes being autistic sound like an illness), and she is extremely photosensitive, and has eyes like a damn cat, she has to wear shades even at night, and they do help.

Also, sleeping, with a blindfold may help for then.

A peripheral cholinergic drug could be useful too, antimuscarinics dilate the pupils something huge, and cholinergics do the exact opposite if they have muscarinic agonist activity.

Cholinesterase inhibitors might be your best bet, if they are safe for you to take with any meds you are on, they are often taken for memory issues and learning, as a nootropic, reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitors increase the total amount of acetylcholine available by inhibiting its breakdown, whilst being competitive with acetylcholine at the AChE enzyme, which is what distinguishes them from irreversible inhibitors, which are in most cases either insecticides or people-cides (nerve agents such as tabun, sarin, soman, VX and the novichoks)

Opioids also cause miosis (pinpoint pupils)

I take the AChE inhibitor galantamine, and have taken huperzine-A, for memory and cognitive issues, and both caused miosis.

Good post Limpet, but forget the opioids (...in this case). I don't think that adding any opioid is going to do some good, when the OP is already on SSRIs (which?), oxycodone and alprazolam.

Noooo, I wasn't suggesting he got on more! and I didn't intend it to be unclear if it was, I was merely making the point that opioids cause miosis, and that gave me the anticholinesterase idea.

The OP could ask his doctor also about topical miotic drugs, to avoid any systemic side effects (unless he wanted to go with the AChE inhibitor idea and get some nootropic action in the bargain)

Thanks for clarification!
