In reply to My eyes are always dilated, posted by leeann on March 16, 2003, at 23:14:29
Hi, YES. I take Effexor, and you said that your eyes(pupils?) were dilated even before you added Remeron and Ritalin so its not the Ritalin which can cause this. I, personally, have always had a "floater" in my eye-ever since I started Seroquel, but it has gotten worse since being on Effexor and so have the pupils dialation. I look at my pupils and go geez you can't even see the color of my eyes! I wonder if some meds just do that. When did you start Effexor???, and did you see the pupil dialation more after you started???
Did you start both the Resperdal and the Effexor at the same time??
I honestly believe it is the Effexor, but the Resperdal is an AP, and can do this too. Trust me......Hope this helped.

Im wondering has anyone else suffered from this or does anyone have any information on this??
> My eyes are embarassingly (if thats a word) dilated the majority of the time, it really bothers me. I was wondering if anyone else suffers from this problem. My psychiatrist says that he doesnt doubt that one of the medications I am taking is the cause,but the information I have found on these medications never confirms that dilated eyes are indeed a side effect from the medication. I take Effexor,Remeron,Ritalin and Riperdol however my eyes were dilated even before the I added Remeron and Ritalin so its not the Ritalin which can cause this. Im wondering has anyone else suffered from this or does anyone have any information on this??
