Does Focalin Taken For Fibromyalgia Cause Dry Eyes?
Hi! I m 60 years old, female, and a professional organist and pianist. Focalin has helped me in performance. For a year now, I ve taken a small dose,daily, 5 mg. of Focalin ( generic). I have fibromyalgia. Focalin seems to help my overall body achiness. I also have suffered though with chronic dry eyes, especially painful in the middle of the night. Could it contribute to dry eyes? Is there any danger with my taking Focalin with my severe dry macular degeneration? Overall, 5 mg. of Focalin each morning works well for me . Do you have any thoughts for me? Thanks! YYYY@YYYY

HI
Well come to HCM
Look fibromyalgia is more or less functional condition and not the pure form of pathological changes so you better try to come out of stress, anxiety and depression, for the dry eye better to have eye examined, because dryness may not be due to drug that you having, take care.
