Brief answer....given below
Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understood your concern very well.
Blurring of vision or double vision is definitely a problem with anti anxiety medicines and the only other medicine which has least blurring like BUTREN,has been tried by you.
Now how to come out of your anxiety ...
It can be done by the following way..
You can use anti anxiety medications in sub therapeutic dose and employ other non medicinal ways like doing yoga,pranayama,meditation,deep breathing exercises along with medication.
Sub therapeutic dose means,using dose of medicines lesser than least possible dose advised.
For example ,the most common anti anxiety drug,XANAX comes in the minimum possible strength of 2.5 mg.You can use half of this and see the response.
In my opinion using lesser doses coupled with other measures,as explained above,should help you.
I hope it helps you,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
