[edit] Voluntarily induced Nystagmus

There is a percentage of people that can induce nystagmus voluntarily (one source says 8% of people), but suffer no episodes of unwanted nystagmus. I am actually one of those people. There should be something added on this as well.

[edit] Drug Induced

I know nothing about Nystagmums, so I don't know how to include this, but I have read that LSD is known to cause horizontal and PCP is known to cause both horizontal and vertical, to a much greater extent than LSD. Anaraug 16:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Something like that would be covered under "pathological acquired nystagmus" (being drug induced in some way, shape, or form), which the article already states "is mostly a temporary condition and stops spontaneously". Some drugs such as Lyrica, gabapentin, and baclofen all have a rare side effect of causing temporary nystagus. (Ironically, these same drugs are the drugs used to damper the effects of nystagmus).

[edit] Drug Induced Nystagmus

Is there any documentation or studies that have shown that prolonged inhalation of 2nd hand smoke or sudphedrine can cause Nystagmus?

How about Lamisil Induced Nystagmus? I have been using Lamisil (Terbinafine Hydrochloride) topical cream for about a week and have had a very severe episode of Nystagmus along with Vertigo - enough to nearly make me fall over while sitting at a stop light on a motorcycle. I have been off the Lamisil for 3 days but am still experiencing some residual balance disorder hoping that it eventually clears up. P.H. July 10, 2006

[edit] cure for sons nystagmus

There are many studies of infantile nystagmus you just have to look some were that does the research on the subject try the Dean A. McGee Eye Inst. web site and click on DR.Sitakowsky he's a top pediatric neuro-surgeon.Have you had your son checked because there are many diseases that can cause the disorder.

[edit] Gareth Grainger

Not sure whether this is the Gareth Grainger, jurist, who is Deputy Chairman Australian Broadcasting Authority.

[edit] pontine infarction

a few years back I suffered a pontine infarction; however, after having recovered a great bit and returning to normalacy, 6 months later I began having dizzy spells but resolved as quickly as they appeared. my neurologist never suggested any nystagmus secondary to the stroke my wife nor any friends suggested any rapid eye mov'mt. any sugg on transiet nystag. months after a stroke ??

[edit] unsupported japanese couple -part

"A japanese couple have made a prospection about Nystagmus and they discovered that those people usually have a better IQ than other people "

This needs reformulation, evidence backup, a change of verb and a period at the end. I have exams in two days so somebody else do it. Orimlig 01:02, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
