Different sized pupils

Posted , 11 users are following.

Hi, 

I have been on sertraline 100mg for about 6 weeks now for depression.

Within the first week I noticed that one of my pupils is often larger the other one.

I assumed that it was a side effect of the sertraline (as I had so many others at the time) but 6 weeks later all the others have gone but my eyes are still different.

Any ideas or simmilar experiences?

Thanks

    Same thing happened to me from the outset. Lasted about 4 weeks. As far as l know it is quite rare but does pass. l hope all is well in your journey.

    i know its been eight years so maybe no one will see this but i currently take Zoloft, I'm on my 6th week of 25mg and I'm experiencing this side effect! it really freaks me out but I'm glad to hear other people have experienced it. i have a doctor that doesn't really seem to care and told me that it cant be Zoloft because Zoloft doesn't cause pupil dilation which is a lie. but luckily i have a great eye doctor who reassured me everything was fine ☺
