Treatment for Visual Snow Syndrome
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) modulate neurotransmitter systems by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, potentially reducing neuronal hyperexcitability associated with Visual Snow Syndrome. By altering neural signaling and potentially dampening cortical hyperactivity, TCAs may help mitigate visual disturbances and associated neurological symptoms through their complex neuromodulatory effects.

Did you test low for vitamin K? If it helped without a measured deficiency, I'd like to try it as well (I've had the micronutrient tests and only showed up low for Zinc and Copper). I've been able to get back to work, but I'm still not back to normal...View more

I’m on Nortriptyline and Emgality. I use Klonopin to help with the anxiety from the vision I now have as well. The “benzos” seem to help the most. I also use riztriptyn as a rescue med if the migraines pop up.

Amitryptaline cut my flares/starbursts/light sensitivity very significantly. I still have the same level of VS but those other symptoms are so, so much better
