optic pressure increase

[metronycguy]

anyone experience a rise in optic pressure from neuropathic pain meds?
mine has gone up, i haven't seen my eye doctors in about 2 years, injured about 3 years ago, i was taking all kinds of anti seizure meds for pain, ultram has been my main med for the last couple of months.
took 32000 neurontin,gabitril,zonegran, topamax,ultram,10 to 20 mg elavil, now trying nortripyline instead. vioxx ...none of my pain meds should have raised it per my pain doc,

thanks Alan,
, i found it hard to read through all the different meds i have been taking, but i searched for glaucoma it does show topamax and elavil as being raise of intra ocular pressure, i stopped taking topamax about 6 months ago and elavil a bunch of months ago. nortripyline i take now, but elavil and nortripalyne are at low doses

Wouldn't it be nice if meds only did what they were supposed to, and didn't mess with other body parts?

what makes me crazy is trying to figure all this stuff out. i am sure others have this problem too, i am the one that has to ask for blood test and fortuately i decided to see my eye doctor , just to make sure my eyes were ok with all the different meds i was on.
