A member asked:
Is pupil dilation (mydriasis) normal when starting prozac (fluoxetine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can occur: Fluoxetine can cause mydriasis (pupil dilation) as one of the possible side effects given its effects on your autonomic nervous system (sweating/diaphoresis is another related side effect). This usually goes away over time.
