Lexapro-)dilated pupils--)look like I'm on 'drugs'

Posted by Dragon Black on April 9, 2008, at 18:26:45

Hi All,
So I went onto Lexapro 8 days ago, 5 mg for the first two days, then 10. By day 6 I was a complete zombie and realized I had to go down, but I didn't want to go off, as it has helped for certain things, especially anxiety. Also my eyes were dilating like crazy, which I find problematic. So I went to 5, then 2.5 mg today. And my eyes were completely dilated today, too, on 2.5 mg! I can't decide if this matters enough to be a deal-breaker or not. For example, any cop who encountered someone with widely dilated pupils would assume that they were on some sort of drug. Lots of people might think this, especially anyone who's ever used drugs which dilate your pupils, which is basically most of the good ones. I know this is what I would think. But I can't have people thinking or wondering if I'm on something - just lost my job and need to be able to interview asap.
Anyone have any experience with the dilated pupils thing?
