This medication made me SLEEPY! After one year of feeling awful and being misdiagnosed as depression. I discovered this contains a Betablocker and I already had low to normal blood pressure. I just wanted to stay in bed.. no interest, no vigor no social life. Changed to Lumigan and after less than a week feeling normal. Eye Dr said, "you are sleepy, not depressed".

Blood pressure has now 215/105. Eye feels swollen. blurry vision, bad taste in mouth. Can't imagine why my doctor would use. My eye health is worst with this drop.

Blurred vision, stings eyes and lack of energy. I don’t know why my doctor prescribed this as i used Timolol successfully for 5 years

This medicine caused my ankles to swell and became painful to walk. Had no symptoms of this until about 4 days after taking and then realized it must be the eye drops. Gave me gout-like condition

My husband has been using these drops for about a year, after using Timolol for a long time. He's had no side effects with it, & it has reduced eye pressure. He's 84, & yes gets tired but I don't know if it's from this or his age.

This drug put me in bed for ~3 months w/ extreme fatigue. Turns out, it has a beta blocker in it. I had great BP readings, when I could get out of bed for my Dr's appointments. This stuff should be used w/ extreme caution. If you are committed to lowering your eye pressure as I am, do not make the mistake of continuing w/ this drug after noting that it is very difficult to get out of bed. I am still trying to recover my muscle strength and suspect atrophy after ~ 3 months of inactivity.
