Betimol (timolol) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Betimol (timolol)
Used eye drops 1 every morning (1 drop) around 8AM. I started getting headaches (more like "eye" headaches -- like a headache behind the eye). I noticed when I stopped taking the eyedrops, the headaches went away. The doctor said the headaches were likely due to stress, which could be true because I had just gone back to work in-person after working remotely for a year. I am going to continue to use them and give it a few more weeks.
BETIMOL (TIMOLOL): This medication is used to treat high pressure inside the eye due to glaucoma (open angle-type) or other eye diseases (e.g., ocular hypertension). Lowering high pressure inside the eye helps to prevent blindness. This medication works by decreasing the amount of fluid within the eye. Timolol belongs to a class of drugs known as beta-blockers.

Considering that all medications cause some sort of side-effects, some worse than others, Tegretol has made it possible for me to drive, hold down a full-time job, raise a child -- in other words, have a productive life, so much so that the only time I think about having a seizure disorder is when I have to take a dose, go the doctor for a refill, or deal with the local DMV to keep my driver's license. The rest of the time I can just think of my seizure disorder as a "nuisance" that I have to deal with, not something that I have allowed to ruin my life.
Extreme rigors, fever, pain, headache, flu like symptoms, liver and kidney problems, chest pain, weak, had to be hospitalized for 5 days, they thought I had a bacterial infection but testing revealed nothing. The pain moved around from organ to organ, some pleuresy in left lung, severe pain there couldn't lie down for several days. I thought I was going to die. I have never been that sick in my life. I am very very healthy.
I gained some weight but it was not terrible.I was underweight before I was taking the birth control.
