I goofed and forgot to refill my scrip and so I missed today's dose (300mg) of effexor xr. This afternoon, since it was a beautiful day, I was sitting out in the park reading the paper. After a while, I took off my glasses and then when I was just staring into space, I noticed "floaters". I have had floaters from time to time, but these were distinct. In addition to the usual tiny black flecks, there were these long, thin, transparent squiggly looking tube things floating there too. With floaters it is always hard to actually focus on them, but I was able to see them fairly well. It felt like being in some kind of 3-D slide prep that someone might look at under a microscope, because it looks like the floaters are floating in some sort of viscous fluid. Does anyone know what this is, and is it related to not taking my meds today? Do I need to see my opthalmologist?
