Southern Discomfort Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I had a thought, I was wondering if antipsychotics has ever reduced or otherwise affected visual snow for anyone? I don't really know the cause behind it, whether it's down to to being ocular or caused by the brain, or a bit of both or if it's subjective. Of course if it is ocular then antipsychotics would be unlike to do so. As my signature says, I am on a low dose of risperidone, I don't expect it to have an affect on my visual snow but I thought it was be interesting to see and wonderful if it did reduce it.

jt07 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm not a doctor and maybe I'm way off base, but I always thought of visual snow as random noise in the ocular nervous system rather than an hallucination. I used to have it bad as a child until I learned to ignore it for the most part. I doubt that antipsychotics would affect it, but I could be wrong.

SchizoHH Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 My risperdal (low dose) creates visual snow for me, particularly right before I fall asleep and right after I take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Discomfort Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 I noticed I was getting episodes, if you want to call them that, of really bad snow a couple of times before going to bed in the last month or two. I used to just think that visual snow was because of a dodgy signal, per say, from the eyes but now I'm not too sure.. I'm confused.. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon0422 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Since being on Abilify, I've had minutes where my visual snow has gone away, where in the past it's never gone away on it's own. However, it always comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
