A member asked:
Can lexapro/celexa cause anisocoria? since i started on this type of med my right pupil has been bigger than my left but still responds to light
A doctor has provided 1 answer
These medicines...: ...may cause effects on pupillary reaction and sweating, among others. Why would they affect one pupil more than the other? Many people have benign differences in pupil size and physiology, it may be the medicine is exacerbating this difference here.
