These "side effects" are among the issues physicians need to consider when prescribing medications to patients, but also people thinking about "using" street drugs should be aware that there may be serious side effects as a result of their behavior.

Migraine??: The big issue is whether it is a transient or permanent problem. Regardless, a full exam with visual field testing should help you sort out the possible cause. Migraine is most common transient type. In elderly patients you also have to assess for insufficient ocular blood flow (amarosis).
