This is a personal question. I do not know if anyone feels like answering.
Has anyone experienced that anti-depressants / anxiolytics improve tolerance to offensive electronics?
About 10-15 years ago I took Zoloft 25 to 50 mg per day, which was the smallest dose. I was prescribed the drug because I was under immense stress and I made the wrong use of it, in the sense that I ended up pushing myself even further. I was able to sleep really little and be very performant, work like a dog, do sport. I was tireless. After a year I decided to go back walk on my legs.
I remember that those days I had to buy a laptop to use up the long commuting time constructively and I spent 6-9 months looking around for a "good" device. I could not find anything easy on my eyes. I returned a few DELL laptops ordered online, because there was the option of returning within 15 days. Finally, I had to buy something at all costs and I opted for a LENOVO ThinkPad T60. I kept it in my drawer for 6 months because it would fry my eyes and provoke the characteristic neck pain within minutes. At a certain point, I had no chance but to use it. First, I found out that I could handle it connected to an external LCD monitor. Yet, the sole peripheral sight of the laptop display would bother me. Ultimately, I figured out that the laptop would pass from unusable to usable 15 hours in a row without the slightest issue by reducing the resolution from native to 1024 x 768. I already brought this up multiple times and I am kind of drifting from the point I intended to make.
All this to say that Zoloft did not help reduce my eyestrain in any way. Hadn't it been for the trick of reducing the resolution, I would have wasted EUR 1,800 in 2007.
I am not an expert of those types of medicines, but I believe Zoloft is catalogued as anti-depressant. I guess an anxiolytic may have a different effect on eyestrain. Has anyone tried out?
I also wonder what the principle behind the effectiveness of CBD oil in treating eyestrain is compared to anti-depressants / anxiolytics.
