Phospholine iodide (echothiophate iodide) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Phospholine iodide (echothiophate iodide)
Extreme sweating in head, face, neck, and chest. Sudden-onset episodes of sweating, even in cool temperatures. This interfered badly with my sleep.
The med worked very well to control my eye pressure, but the side effect was debilitating. The sweating did not occur immediately after I started the drug but came on gradually, and increased in severity. I consulted both my internist and my OBGYN, both of whom seemed to be assuming this was an effect of old age, which I must learn to live with. Neither asked about new medications.
PHOSPHOLINE IODIDE (ECHOTHIOPHATE IODIDE): This medication is used to treat high pressure inside the eye (due to conditions such as certain types of glaucoma) and other eye problems (such as accommodative esotropia). It works by causing the pupil to shrink, decreasing the amount of fluid within the eye, and affecting certain eye muscles. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

My 15 year old daughter began this product 2 months ago. Now suffering from SEVERE depression and stomach pain. This should be used cautiously, if not at all!!!! She is NOT the same person she was 2 months ago...
Headache, lower abdominal pain, hyperactivity, nervousness, insomnia, loss of appetite
Switched back to Xanax from Clonopin but went to Xanax Xr 3mg per day with Niravam for panic attacks, same thing as Xanax but they melt in your mouth and dont taste bad. Good transition, no rebound anxiety, seems like me peaks are level. Overall not bad.
Weight gain (went away after about 6 months), clumsiness, dyslexia, occasional speech problems (while upping the doses), worsening of IBS symtoms
This is another follow up to my post from 2 weeks ago. The horrible side effects are finally subsiding. It's been about a month since I stopped taking Prilosec. My BP is back to normal (120/80) however I still have heart palpitations on and off but not as bad. My anxiety and depression is getting better and I don't get lightheaded anymore. I just want to let people who are suffering know that there is hope. I've read that if you are on Prilosec for a while it takes about a month to completely leave your system. The bad news is the rebound effect is horrible. I've tried some of the natural remedies, but they don't seem to help much. Please email me if you have any questions or advice.
