i increased my dose of effexor this week at my doctor's instruction, and i'm doing okay with it so far -- no uncomfortable side effects. but today at work, someone are commented that my pupils look unusually large. i have larger-than-normal pupils ordinarily (so much so that i don't need dilating drops when i go to the eye doctor -- he can see inside my eyes well enough in just a dark room), but i checked my eyes in the mirror and they do look pretty large for being in a well-lit room. i googled and found that enlarged pupils is a common start-up side effect of some SSRI's and it usually goes away. has anyone else experienced this? i'm wondering if it's happening since i increased my dose. i don't have any other symptoms with it that should cause me to really be concerned. (yay for being able to say this in spite of my health anxiety!)
still i will call my doctor in a little while just to make sure it's nothing to be worried about.
