"Used this from a neuro-ophthalmologist prescribed for a chemical burn in the eye. From the start, I started feeling anxious and a weird depressed overwhelming feeling with an anxious fur feeling that persisted the entire length and afterward. I only used it in one eye, but my other eye was having burning effects from the medication as well. Even days after stopping, the opposite healthy eye was tearing up with a burning sensation while the injured eye was as well. This stuff left a crusty residue inside my sinus, which is just so beyond mind-boggling how the other effects come from this medication. I cannot say if I would recommend this because it seems so toxic for mental health. Very difficult overall situation then to have to take this drug makes a whole other situation arise. Now seeing other reviews, I see others suffered too. Oh, and irritability, moodiness, anxiousness are all at an extreme heightened level."

For Postoperative Ocular Inflammation "Awful experience. I took these drops after cataract surgery, and the results were awful: dizziness, mood changes, headache, anxiety, even diarrhea!"
